Newbie user issues

Howdy! I am an apprentice welder at PSNS in Bremerton, WA., and I've purchased the Student version of AutoCad 2006 (R 16.2.77.0) from the O.C. Bookstore. Here are my two problems:

1: When I plot my assignments at home, I have the banner, "PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT," included on all four sides of my plot. The issue is, all four sides are trunicated at different letter heights, producing a sloppy looking plot. I do NOT intend to remove these, but I would like to know if there is a setting that would move them in about 3/16" on the page.

2: I have followed this NG for a few days now, and I've downloaded the snippet of Lisp that dimensions arcs. I've tried to set up a toolbar button for it, but there seems to be a disconnect between the button I've created and the Lisp that it should call. How do I link my new button to the Lisp file?

Thank you,

Great! Thank you for your help. I've been trying to understand the help files, but they all seem to be written for people who already know what they are doing.

I find it odd that the Educational version of Acad that O.C. runs does NOT include the disclaimer printed on every plot, but that the student version does. I've got my apprenticeship at stake, so I'm not out to screw AD out of their due, but this is somewhat annoying. There has to be a better way.... But I'll live with it.

Thanks again,

Chris Ables
