Remove Student Version Plot Stamp Warning

chadwickt — Wed, 05 Sep 2018 02:20:08 GMT

Is it possible to disable the warning for the Student Version plot stamp? To be clear, I am not wanting to get rid of the plot stamp itself, just the dialog box that warns that it is there. I teach an online class where hundreds of AutoCAD files are submitted to me throughout the semester. It is getting a little tiresome to have to click "Open" at the warning screen each time. Of course, "Cancel" is the default option so I cannot just press Enter, though I can arrow over then press Enter.

If it is not possible, I am not going to complain. I think it is wonderful that Autodesk makes the software available to students. They could not take my class without it. While I can live with it, it would sure be nice to eliminate some clicks 🙂

I am not aware of any possibility from the software, but who cares (which I can understand if you have to access many files per day),
then install a customizable pop-up handler which always clicks "Open" in the window.
There are various programs (internet search).

So you would see a maximum flicker and would have basically reached the goal.

Thank you for the idea. I think I have found a workflow that works. I have to press Enter to confirm that I want to open the file, then Enter again to confirm that I want to open it read only (I am opening directly from the Web), and now I am just tapping the arrow key then pressing Enter to get past the warning. I have done it dozens of times already so I am already getting used to it.

Thanks!

Open with R2018 instead of R2019.

If you have a multi-button mouse, check to see if you can program that key sequence in and assign to one of the extra buttons. That can save you a few extra steps.

You could open the drawings with autocads trueview. It's opening drawing as read only so I don't think you would get the pop up at all. I haven't tested it though. Easy enough to install it along side autocad and have both. It's also free too with no need for a student version.

It would be right for TV version between 2014-2018, but not because of read-only, because you can plot from TV.

It is because these versions ignore the edu flag.

It looks like the short answer is that I am stuck with the dialog box. Thank you for the suggestions for work arounds. I am getting used to just arrowing over and pressing Enter, so I will stick with that.

Nobody has anything to remove, so the question is unnecessary!? 🤔

What exactly do you mean by "nobody has anything to remove"?

See the link, you already know the answer, nothing has changed, you stated as much in your earlier reply that is tagged as a solution to this thread, @cadffm is simply confirming it.

I agree that nothing has changed. I was surprised to see this pop back up. However, "nothing has changed" is quite different than "nobody has anything to remove", hence my question.

Lots of folks stumble into older posts through google searches and reply to them without paying attention or hoping things have changed, it happens all the time.
