Hide Coordinate System in SolidWorks 2008

Hide Coordinate System in SolidWorks 2008

Hide Coordinate System in SolidWorks 2008

(OP)
I want to take screen shots of an assembly without the coordinate system or origin displayed.

I have tried selecting the seemingly appropriate options under VIEW (Hide All Types, etc.) as well as hiding the origins on the Feature Manager Design Tree, but it won't go away.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is an example of what I am seeing:

I am using SolidWorks 2008 SP0.0

Thanks!

Tools > Options > System Options > Display/selections and deselect Display reference triad

Limey-

Thanks for the quick response!  That gets rid of the reference triad in the bottom left, but I still have the other triad/coordinate system that is attached to my model...  (See JPG referenced above)

Thanks!

I figured it out; the coordinate system in the image belongs to FloWorks.

To get rid of it:

"Right-click the project name at the top of the COSMOSFloWorks analysis tree and select Show Global Coordinate System or Hide Global Coordinate System to display or hide the Global Coordinate system in the graphics area."

I hope this helps someone else using FloWorks for the first time...
