Delete the origin indicator used with:
  1. Ordinate dimensions
  2. Hole tables
  3. Or, the origin indicator by itself
  4. Ordinate Dimension Sets, if the Dimension Style Options tab Origin Indicator is selected.

Export Only Inside of the Sheet Borders

In Inventor drawings, it is very common to create views and parts list outside of the sheet borders. When saving as AutoCAD DWG everything in the sheet gets exported, while when exporting to PDF any annotations outside the sheet borders are cut and not included in the PDF. In this release there is a new "Sheet Content Only" option added to the Export Destination dialog box to enable you to include only content inside the sheet borders when exporting to DWG. Note that with this option selected the whole object will be included if its bounding box is inside or partially inside the sheet.

For more information see To Export Data to DWG.
