Hi,

>> how to remove "produced by an autodesk student

>> version" when i export dwg to pdf

This stamp shows that the data is not allowed to be used for commercial activities, that's why drawings created or modified are getting this flag.

It is not allowed to remove this as this would be a violation of license terms, as shown >>>here<<< (middle section).

It's not always a case of trying to cheat Autodesk. I was on a project where we all had full AutoCAD licenses, but a vendor used a student version and we all got "infected" with the plot stamp when we used elements of their drawings in our own. There are solutions if you search the web.

Does not really change the situation if you try to use parts inside your drawing which were created with "not for commercial use" software.

The vendor has to correct the files, not you.

>> There are solutions if you search the web

You find a lot things in web which are not legal, just to find such things does not give you the right to follow these suggestions. To remove the plot stamp is definitely a violation of license.

Agreed, and they did after they were warned, but not before people had
taken certain details from their drawings and used them in our drawings.

You are posting at Autodesk asking how to circumvent an Autodesk label put there for a simple cut and try reason with no excuses allowed.

So... do whatever you need there are no free passes at Autodesk here 😁

Although you and your firm didn't use a student version and you nor your firm didn't intend to deceive Autodesk, you did accept work product drawn by a non-commercial, non-income producing, student version. (The vendor is your supplier, you are not their supplier. You are free to change suppliers. You are free to purchase services and product elsewhere.)

The moment you accepted your vendor's drawing and incorporated their linework in your drawing, you become complicit in their misgivings. The work should've been rejected and returned. You even have grounds to withhold payment. And depending on your working 'agreement' your vendor may even be liable for lost work or for damages incurred due to your worked being delayed.

Imagine if the vendor gave you drawings not in english but in Latin and no one in your office could understand them. Keep or return? Imagine if the vendor delivered drawings meant for one of their other clients and not meant for you? Keep or refuse? Imagine if the vendor delivered 12 copies of an 18-page drawing-set full of coffee stains. Return or accept?

That's your vendor's work in your drawings, so as it is now, or will become, their mistake is your mistake.
