    I have received some drawings from a supplier and when i print them, the message : "PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT" is printed on the four sides of the sheet. I tried to wblock and insert into another drawing, but I get the same result. How do I get rid of it?

    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.

    Here's the main reference page for student and educational
    institution products:

    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
    AutoCADĀ® 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:

    We cannot assist you in this forum. This is a PEER TO PEER
    support group.
    Help with this issue is only available through your Authorized
    AutoDesk
    Reseller and the Autodesk Product Support group.

    Contact your reseller and request a copy of EMR_STAMP.LSP (or
    EMR_Utility).
    This is a lisp utility to search out infected files. If you have
    a few
    infected files they can be emailed to AutoDesk for cleaning. If
    you have a
    large quantity to be cleaned they have a 15 day program (involves
    an
    approval process) that you can use to clean the files.

    If needed please copy this information and email it to your
    reseller as this
    problem may be something your representative may not be familiar
    with.

    Please note that AutoCAD 2004 and AutoCAD 2005 include automatic
    detection and warning of
    the presence of Educational Drawing Files.
