Hello every body,gudmorning

 

when i print some files " PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT " is coming as i showed in the attached image.I used two method to hide these message.

 

1.First convert to DXF file and then convert to DWG file.

 

2.Call this file as X-ref

 

Still i don't know why this message is coming.any body can tell me what's the actual reason for this, and if there is any other method to prevent this message.please advise me.Thank you.

Your are using the an Autodesk Student product. All products are like that and there is no way to get rid of it.

 

The stamp is used to to prevent users from creating drawing and commercially distributing them to firms.

I thought you said you were not a student and you were working for a construction company?

 

Either your company is run by idiots and they are using the educational version for commercial purposes, or you have received drawings from idiots that are using the student version for commercial purposes. Either way, you need to stop using these drawings immediately. Using the student version for anything other than learning is a direct violation of the Autodesk EULA, and if you continue to use these drawings, you are leaving yourself open for possible legal action if someone reports you to Autodesk.

 

You need to also realize that these drawings will infect any other drawing they come in contact with. So if you insert one of these drawings into another drawing, it will inherit the educational stamp.

 

Do yourself a favor and get rid of these drawings.

Hi, Thanks for your replay.

 

Mr.CAD64 what you said is correct.coz the AutocadLT i am using is a licenced verson.i can see the "Educational Product" message is only from the drawings i received from the sub-contractors.anyway thanks for your advise. today itself i will inform to my firm with this thread.see what they can do.thank you.

Do the subcontractors need a viewer? They can download a free DWG Viewer here.

 

As posted on the Autodesk site:

 

Use the free DWG TrueView CAD file conversion software to accurately view, plot, and publish authentic DWG and DWF files.

 

Take the capabilities of DWG TrueView to the next level by downloading your copy of Autodesk Design Review first. Autodesk Design Review is the free, integrated, all-digital way to view, print, mark up, and compare versions of 2D and 3D drawings, maps, and models—without the original design-creation software.

 

Hope this helps!
