I was fiddling with my mach 4 display settings and somehow managed to get this annoying blue box to appear on my display. I cant figure out how to get it to go away. It is showing my toolpaths as in the larger toolpath screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Probably wins dumbass of the day I know.

Thanks for all responses. I was able to delete the blue box by left clicking and delete…twice.

Can you put up a photo sometimes it helps!  
It could be a resizing your screen size in Windows?

Were you editing your screenset? If so, post the file and we can take a look

If you have not modified the screenset much it can be easier to go back to a fresh copy from avid. The smallest error when editing can really screw things up. As they say, don’t ask me how I know…. Backups are your friend. There are a few screensets in the forum including one I posted a few years ago

The screen editor is the best feature of Mach4, but its a bit finicky. It does not have an undo feature, so ALWAYS make a backup copy of your screen before editing.

I know this doesn’t help you now unfortunately.
