"Produced by Autodesk Educational product" printing on our sheets

 

We received an autocad drawing that was created by our GC using an educational version of AutoCAD. One of our draftspeople copy clipped information from this drawing into several of our drawings for reference, which infected our drawings (made using a legit version of 2013) and put a watermark on them when we printed them.

 

Most of the drawings that were ‘infected’ with the educational version stamp were able to be fixed (removed the watermark) using the dxfout and dxfin command. But one particular file is causing trouble: when we dxfout and then try to dxfin the file we created, we get this error message:

 

in BLOCKHORIZONTALCONSTRAINTPARAMETER starting at line 644422:

Missing DXF group code: 1

Invalid or incomplete DXF input -- drawing discarded.

 

So we cannot get rid of the watermark when printing even though we have valid AutoCAD licenses.  We have tried DGNpurge, -PU, audit, WBLOCK, etc.

Is there anything else we can do to fix this one last drawing?  We clearly cannot send it out as part of our drawing set with "Produced by an Autodesk Educational product" stamped all over it.

 

Note that we have informed the GC who is responsible that we will not accept any more of their drawings if they are created using this "educational version".

 

Thanks

Ethically, you should not be using the file(s). Period.

Manually edit the XREF in Windows notepad and remove the offending entry to the object type.
