Using the relative origin is a powerful tool for the design layout, however once enabled by the right mouse click options it may appear to be permanently enabled.
It does not cause any problems being enabled and permanently visible, however if you wish to remove it from the design view, from the menu bar use Settings - Coords… and in the window un-check "Use Relative Coordinates".
The relative origin will automatically be enabled and visible the next time you select to use the feature from the right click options.

To turn off the world origin using Designspark Mechanical,
1.select the display tab
2.then to the far right select "show" drop down menu
3.then de-select the first check box labeled "World Origin".
This will allow easier exporting of 2d image files for some laser cutting and engraving operations. You can export ping images of colored lines directly for use in programs such as k40 whisperer. K40 whisperer uses colored lines to define cuts, rasters, or engravings. The World Origin Point being present creates the need to be edited out prior to file use. With the world origin turned off files will require little or no editing after export from Designspark Mechanical.
