Unwanted Blue Box (Not in Layers) in Multiple Illustrator Files

Explorer ,
Jul 23, 2019 Jul 23, 2019

I've seen this box in a few files now (not ones generated by myself but by others) and have not been able to locate where it is in the file, move it, or delete it. It does not confine the content, it doesn't move when the content moves, it's nowhere on the layers....I'm at a loss.

What is it?? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with print tiling, but it looks similar.

I think we figured it out, though it still doesn't make much sense to me. We were using an older version of Illustrator CC but when we used the newest version they disappeared.

Still very curious as to why that is a thing lol but I'm glad we figured it out. And that explains why no one else could see the blue box.

I realize this is an old topic, but I'm curious. Do you have any Esko plugins you are using in Illustrator? One of my coworkers discovered the the strange blue box could be removed by turning it off in the Esko menu item.

This is the real answer. Great Job Mark! Go to Esko Menu and Trim and Media box and uncheck the Trim and Medi box checkmark at the bottom of the menu window.

We figured it out on our end at least for these files! Apparently it was because we were not using the newest version of Illustrator. I still don't know why that would be the case, but it is.
