On this very problem, you'll notice that the export dialog has a "Selection" checkbox in the lower left part. To export a selected part of a drawing to some third-party format, which is what you're looking for, do: 1. Select the drawing (part) you're willing to export. If you want the whole drawing, then just Edit > Select all (Ctrl + A) 2. Open the Export dialog and tick the Selection checkbox. And you're done! Your new image is now without any white space clutter. Note: the "Selection" checkbox doesn't retain its state. You'll have to check it again when exporting another drawing.
