Due to the lack of response to my question concerning how to turn this off for screen shots, it seems there is no way, except tricking it with slight movements and hoping. The 3D user-origin might be helpful for some functions, but mostly it becomes a thing that should not be in the picture when you make a screen shot. So, we need a control switch somewhere to facilitate clean screen shots so often used for quick communications with clients.
If there is a renderings mode that will remove it, please let me know, but so far no one has come up with anything other than a work around approach.
