I have an assembly with about 50 parts. They are all in folder A. I then created drawings for all parts, with the drawings in folder A/drawings. After an extensive redesign, I copied all of the parts to a new folder, B. I then copied the A/drawings folder [with all 50 drawings] to a new folder...

I've created a part that I now want to export as a PNG. I have turned off the origin, the axises and the planes. however, there is still a green origin with XYZ axis, and still showing the first extrusion dimension, some other dimensions, etc. Can I get rid of EVERYTHING except the part, so I...
