There is not a way to set the default in Surfer to not add an axis when creating a map, but you can set the defaults so that the axis is invisible and the tick marks and labels are not shown. The tick marks and labels need to be turned off (even if the axis is unchecked in the Object Manager), otherwise you will get extra white space around your map when you export it.

To change the defaults:

1. Go to Tools | Options | Advanced.
2. On the right side, scroll down in the Settings list about 2/3 of the way and open Map Left Axis.
3. Select lxLine and change the Setting value to: "Black" "Invisible" 0
4. Change the Setting persistence to Always reset.
5. Select lxMajTT and change the Setting value to None.
6. Change the Setting persistence to Always reset.
7. Select lxShowLab and change the Setting value to No.
8. Change the Setting persistence to Always reset.
9. Repeat steps 2-8 for the Map Right Axis, Map Bottom Axis, and Map Top Axis.
10. Click OK and save the changes to the SET file.

Now when you create a map, the axes will still be there but they will be completely invisible and you will not get the white space around the map when you export it.
