Student License Watermark?????

Sheesh - 200 years from now and 200 releases later and they still can't fix the damn bugs... ;)

Thanks for the reply, however I am actually using SW2007.

If you have inserted any files into your assembly that were created using a student or educational version this message will appear. This can also occur if you start a new part or assembly using a template from a student or educational version. Have you inserted any downloaded parts into your assembly? These could be the source of the problem.

The only way to remove the watermark is to delete the files that were created in the student or educational version.

Hope this helps.

That makes the problem worse, I was happier thinking there was an easier fix. Is there a way to check the files easily to find the offender, perhaps using PDMworks? I am interrogating everyone to find out who knows anything about an educational version, then they are getting all the crappy projects!

That's not it, the problem just fixed itself out of the blue. What fun.

Oh no it didn't is just decided it didn't want appear on the print preview screen, which was how I was going to track down the offending part. I guess I am going to need more paper. More fun!

Found it, thanks for help.

The suggested method to finding the offending part is to use the SolidWorks "Task Scheduler", or some other batch printing tool to print each part in the assembly. The offending parts will print with the watermark.

How did you ultimately isolate and correct the problem?

By printing, printing, printing. One of our engineering had a dual install of SW at home ages ago with one copy being educational and somehow crossed wires or whatever. The info on the template causing it was a great help. What a pain.
