Unwanted white rectangle on gray background

Probably a dumb question.

I have a white rectangle with dashed line inset in paper space. How do I get rid of this?
I just installed version 19 on a new computer. Not sure why rectangle was absent on old computer.

  • Looks like the Paper Size with Printing Border.
    Your Viewports are exceeding that chosen Paper.

    Michael is correct. You can disable it by changing the DISPPAPERBKG and DISPPAPERMARGINS settings. For some strange reason this is only possible via the _Settings command.

  • Yes! This works. Thank you Michael and Roy.

    True, you need to modify it in the settings dialog. If I type the variable name (only tried first one), I get this:
    DISPPAPERBKG
    Undocumented variable. Cannot be modified on the commandline.

    But it really is documented a bit. See bottom left of the Settings Dialog

    I rarely print a drawing, so I don't see the need for a paper size anyway. Usually I export to pdf.
