I have drawing views where the center of an arc is way outside the border. I really dont need that center for anything and cant seem to "hide" it or delete it. The problem (annoyance) is that when I "view all", the on-screen view is including those center points, making my geometry look miniscule. When I print using print to fit, it prints fine. Are there any tips to aleviating this annoyance?

You should be able to delete the center marks. You might have to zoom out manually to find them, because they sometimes show up very small and are hard to see. When you find them you need to pick the center mark to delete, because windowing does not seem to work. If you find them and can't seem to pick them, try locking view focus. Hope that helps.
 
In the drawing options, disable the annoying auto-add center marks option.

If you have trouble grabbing a center mark that is that far gone, use "lock view focus" and the centermark selection filter to help you zero in on it.
