CAD student edition questions
(OP)
I justed started an internship with a window manufacturing company and I needed to get new CAD software. I'm able to get the sudent edition CAD software, but was wondering what the watermark says or does and if you can turn it off. If anyone knows, that'd be great.

Usually the license for a student edition prohibits doing production work on it. It is for personal use only in learning the software.

RE: CAD student edition questions
Any file used, and saved in the student edition will have a watermark put into them. When they are printed the watermark will show that the file was created with a student edition of AutoCAD. If you use ANY part of the drawing with the student water mark in another drawing (even copying one line) the water mark will show up in the other drawing even if you are using the full edition of AutoCAD. The watermark will 'infect' any drawing that is saved in the student version and any drawing the watermarked file is used/referenced in with full AutoCAD.
There are ways to remove the watermark, but circumventing this will be violating the licence for the student edition and full edition. You could be opening yourself and your company up to a lot of trouble.
I hope this has cleared it up for you.
