Plotting with AutoCAD LT Academic Version

Plotting with AutoCAD LT Academic Version

(OP)
How do I plot with AutoCAD LT 2005 Academic Version without the "AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT" text around the borders?

RE: Plotting with AutoCAD LT Academic Version

You can do nothing about it. You may contact your reseller if you own a non-academic version trying to plot a academic version file. They can help in those situations.

Yes that's normal. That's the function of a plot stamp.

borgunit is right, but:
Which plotter do You use? Can You take an oversized paper?

Maybe You can export a file to a third party. *.eps to Photoshop, or *.plt to Corel Draw... You can erase the plotstamp in this programs.

RE: Plotting with AutoCAD LT Academic Version

The plot stamp is supposed to be there if you are using the
educational version of AutoCAD, or are using a file that at some point went through an educational version of AutoCAD. Somewhere, somehow your drawing or a component being used went through such an educational version, hence the stamp. It is deliberately built into the educational program to stop it from being used in an commercial office environment.

Here's the main reference page for student and educational
institution products:

AutoCAD 2004 does have a warning capability built in. Older
versions require Autodesk Reseller intervention.

Issue

When you plot a drawing that was created in or that contains drawing data that was created in the Educational (Student and Faculty) version of AutoCAD® or AutoCAD-based software, the following plot stamp or watermark appears in the plot:

For Educational Use Only

Solution

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

This can also occur when using blocks or other components of drawings that have been created or modified in an Educational version. This includes layers, blocks, layouts, and so on.

Help with this issue is only available through your Authorized AutoDesk Reseller and the Autodesk Product Support group.

Contact your reseller and request a copy of EMR_STAMP.LSP (or EMR_Utility).

This is a lisp utility to search out infected files. If you have a few infected files they can be emailed to AutoDesk for cleaning. If you have a large quantity to be cleaned they have a 15 day program (involves an approval process) that you can use to clean the files.

If needed please copy this information and email it to your
reseller as this problem may be something your representative may not be familiar with.

Please note that AutoCAD 2004 and AutoCAD 2005 include automatic detection and warning of the presence of Educational Drawing Files.
