In an OnShape Drawing, is it possible to hide all Construction lines that are present in a Sketch

Hello

Is it possible to hide all construction lines when have made a Drawing from a Sketch?

Background
I am using a Sketch that I have created in OnShape to create a DXF file (for use in the free magnetic modelling software 'FEMM').  My problem is that I need to use Construction lines in order to create the Sketch. But I don't want those lines to appear in the DXF file.

Thanks

I don’t know of a simple solution, but you can always create a second sketch which uses edges from a previous sketch - leaving out the construction lines, of course.

You can set the color of the construction lines to white.

But Onshape doesn't allow it to set it to a pure white, because this would not be visible on white paper.
So just set it to almost white:

How can I do that? [I tried copying and pasting a sketch but I couldn't see any way to anchor the pasted sketch so that all the lines go black. Apologies for newbie question!] 

Changing colour won't help me because I importing the line data in the .DXF file into another application.

“Use edge” with the entities you want to see.
