mystery dot in upper left corner

[C. Deel]

I've noticed that most (possibly all) of our printed sheets have a spot in the extreme upper left of the printable area. it looks like a quarter-circle with the center at the corner of the printable area, and is about 1.5 cm in radius on a 24x36 sheet (smaller on 11x17, etc.)

It occurs with different drivers (GimpPrint, LaserWriter, even generating PDF) and from many different documents.

Has anyone else seen this?

We are on G4's with MacOS 10.2.4 and VW Architect 10.1.

Thanks.

In the VW file, go to a layer starting with the word Sheet.

Fit to objects and see if you can see an arc in the corner.

We have no such layer. (We don't use the standard VW document setup; we have our own standard layers & classes.)

I've scoured that corner of the document with all classes and layers turned on, and found nothing.

If it helps: most of the documents we're still working on were converted or batch-converted from VW versioin 9 documents.

Thanks.

By the mention of "Sheets" I assumed you had sheets and were printing sheets.

But I guess by sheets you meant the sheets of paper that are printed out?

If you want me to take a look at the file, send it on over.

I have this problem too with every file that I export as an EPS. When I open them in Adobe Illustrator, there is always a little speck in the upper lefthand corner.

Yes, it seems to have something to do with the PostScript language. Except I've discovered (despite my earlier post) that it doesn't appear when creating PDF files. Our one non-PostScript printer doesn't show the "speck".
