Full commercial version of AutoCAD for mac 2013 printing Educational stamp

Anonymous · ‎10-26-2015

Hello- I have a full- paid for commercial verison of AutoCAD for mac 2013. I had some troubel recently when my Macbook pro autoupdated to El Capitian when I thought I was only upgrading itunes. I was able to restore my MAcbook from time machines but had trouble with AutoCAD. I went through all the workarounds and eventually had to download and installed AutoCAD for mac 2015 then use the 2015 uninstaller to uninstall 2015 CAD and 2013CAD.

I am now up and running with CAD for mac 2013 however, eveything I work on prints with this annoying watermark "Produced by an Autodesk Educational Product."

This is unacceptable for presentations and I have to get rid of it. Please help.

try the following steps:
1-Save the file in DXF format
2-Quit autocad
3-Open the autocad
4-Open the DXF file
5-Save the file to DWG again.

Ive gone ahead and tried your solution with saving the file as dxf and then reopening the file and saving as dwg again. It worked as far as the 'Created by an Autodesk Educational" water mark but I'm still getting this weird directoru infomation and stuff along the bottom of the PDF's. I thought it was a part of the Autodesk educational watermakr but apparently it's not. any ideas about this?

It sounds like you either have a drawing issued to you by somebody using the educational version or have authorized your current version as educational.

If you have used the commercial version then it sounds like somebody has issued you with a non commercial dwg version..

By the looks of it you've got the "Plot stamp" ticked in the plot menu, try unticking this.

That was it- I wonder why it's so hard to figure this out when typing a question about it into Google.
