removing educational plot stamp

[emen]

i recieved a dwg file that has an educational plot stamp on - every time i want to plot i get text-created with educational version-all over my sheet -you cannt get rid of it with copy paste,export import,any way to turn it off?

My understanding is that if you bring a file created by an educational version of the software into your work environment, each seat that opens that file will plot with the stamp. You may have to talk to support and or your AutoCAD dealer to solve the situation. I'm sure there are hacks out there that can sidestep that process...but I would keep to the high road and take care of the problem correctly. If you are doing business with someone using an educational version...I would discontinue that relationship until they correct the problem on their end. This is going to cost you some time to repair, I would seek compensation from the one at fault.

 

Good Luck.

try re svaing it as a new file from your complete copy of autoCAD, may overcome the problem?

tried that allready - no effect

if wblock and anything else doesn't help, i would try the following:

 

download rhino 3.0 demoversion and the latest bonus-tools (i hope they work with the demoversion too.) you can save up to 20 times with the demo, as far as i can remember.

now rhino with the latest bonustools has quite a good autocad-importer and supports also blocks etc. but it will certainly won't be able to reproduce the file by 100%. you will probably miss some little information (like attributes, linetypes etc.) but most of the data should be imported without problems.

now save this file again as dwg. and try to open it in autocad. if it works, be happy, but check if everything was transferred well, or if some data is missing!

 

good luck i pozdrowienia,

I thought that was kind of the point - to keep work done on edu licenses from creeping into commercial work - so if you're doing commercial work and somebody gave you an edu file for it there's maybe a licence violation involved.

well i dont know whats the idea when you cant plot the file even with the edu version - but we can discuss the logic somewhere else - I need a solution

btw reimporting dxf doesnt work

[AJLynn]

Import in some other software package and re-export? Plot to PDF, open in Illustrator, delete the mark, export to DWG? Google for a hack? (No guarantees that that's legal.) You're going to need to think outside the box, I don't think most of the people on this board use the educational version.

saves as *.dxf, then saves as *.dwg, good luck
