Problem with printing drawings profes ver

[simhamkalyan]

Hi all,
Here is the story, I am working on a project using student version of solidworks and after finishing models and the drawing, i saved them. later I opened it with professional version of solidworks 2009 and backed up the files in another folder. When I print the drawing, the drawings they print with a stamp saying that its for educational student version only. I am confused and can not figure out how to rectify this

. any suggestions! Do i have to redo everything using professional version

. or is there any other option. please reply!

thank you,
kalyan

Contact your VAR. They should be able to resolve this issue as it's license related.

Try to SAVE or SAVE AS (and use the same name or other)the drawings before printing. It is only a suggestion.


Good luck !

Try changing the drawing template by selecting the sheet properties button and selecting a new drawing sheet format.

Save as pdf then print drawing.
As for the VAR approach you can make a request for solidworks to remove the protective watermark from the student files but it is a one time only event you will not be able to do it again in the future.

I know it works cause I filed an SR for a customer as a VAR and it was an easy fix.

student versions are NOT FOR PROFESSIONAL USE... oil and water don't mix.


you might try to save the drawing as a "detached" drawing.


there is no easy way of migrating from student to pro. You can save off the model as a parasolid, xb file, then open it in pro and then create the drawings. you lose features though.


for me, I installed a FREE version of www.logmein.com on both machines and then I use the pro from my other machine and don't use the student version.


good luck ...
