What are these weird dashed lines in my drawing

sam_onesam_one Member Posts: 18
I am trying to export my design for lasercutting. I arranged the parts in a drawing, but when I had a look at the views, I noticed a weird dashed crosshair marking the centre of some circle in my part.


I am worried that my lasercutter might pick this up and ruin the part. So, I don't want any of this additonal markers/scales/infoboxes, which is why I used a custom, empty template. Apparently, this doesn't turn these markers off. So, my questions are: 
1. what are these things (for)?
2. how do I prevent them from appearing in my document

here's a link:

    They are centerlines for locating thing like circles. They can be turned off under they right click menu. If you never want them, turn them off in the template.
