Hi,
I use AutoCAD LT on my works computer but also have full AutoCAD on my home iMac, as I'm also a mature student I get to use the education version which is a free download to students but has the disadvantage that you can't print any thing off without a large water mark appearing on the print, which is Ok for Uni stuff but I occasionally like to use my home computer with the big screen for ease when working from home.
Does anyone know of a work around to get rid of the watermark?
Oh and I'm not trying to buck the system, the watermark spoils the presentation of my university work, hence the request.

The university would expect to see the "educational banner" on drawings produced with an educational product wouldn't you think?  So what's the big deal?  Unless of course you are using the educational version to produce drawings for commercial gain (i.e. - money).  Now that I could understand would be a problem when handing over drawings to a client.

The solution to your problem involves the DXFOUT and DXFIN commands.

John,
No, no money involved, I have a full licensed copy on my Mac book, however I as said I do sometimes like to work on my main machine at home, once you've opened a file in the education version the water mark sticks, unless I'm doing it wrong!
Can understand why you may be cynical about my motives, but I don't have any hidden agenda's
Thank you for the pointer, I will investigate further.

There is no way to circumvent the plot stamp on AutoCAD.This is designed to discourage the commercial use of educational version of an Autodesk product. Autodesk sells educational versions of software on the premise that the software will be used for educational purposes only. Big%20smileAngry

Well technically speaking there is a way to remove the banner one sees when a drawing is plotted from an educational product.  I do not disagree however with your statement as to why it is there in the first place.
