plot contains

I received a file from a colleague. As I plot the file there is text "PRODUCED BY AN EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT" around the four sides. My colleague states that it does not appear on her plots. Now, all of my plots seem to have this text. (Due to the fact that I will copy an object from that file to my current drawing).

Any way to get rid of the text?

 

Only one way we're allowed to discuss here: Call your friendly AutoCAD
dealer.

Then, in the future, be sure you *never* use any content that's been
produced by an educational version, or that's been contaminated in this
manner by same.

Information from saved messages about the education stamp:

The plot stamp is supposed to be there if you are using the
educational version of AutoCAD, or are using a file that at some
point went through an educational version of AutoCAD. Somewhere,
somehow your drawing or a component being used went through such
an educational version, hence the stamp. It is deliberately built
into the educational program to stop it from being used in an
office environment.

Search the newsgroups for past discussions of the stamp. Go to
the search engine at
http://discussion.autodesk.com/index2.jspa?categoryID=8, put in
the key words educational stamp and hit enter.

AutoCAD 2004 does have a warning capability built in. Older
versions require Autodesk Reseller intervention.

Issue

When you plot a drawing that was created in or that contains
drawing data
that was created in the Educational (Student and Faculty) version
of
AutoCAD® or AutoCAD-based software, the following plot stamp or
watermark
appears in the plot:

For Educational Use Only

Solution

There is no way to circumvent the plot stamp. This is as designed
to
discourage the commercial use of an educational version of an
AutoCAD
product. Autodesk sells educational versions of software on the
premise that
the software will be used for educational purposes only.

This can also occur when using blocks or other components of
drawings that
have been created or modified in an Educational version. This
includes
layers, blocks, layouts, and so on.

ALSO if you have a commercial drawing that has an educational
stamp:
