Problems with drawings

Drawing in .DWG format from AutoCAD, BricsCAD, etcetera can become a source of misery, ending up with stability issues and viral contamination of your drawing collection. This part describes solutions for different problems.

Get rid of Educational plotstamps

It can happen to anyone, a drawing made with a normal version is accidentally saved in an educational version and you're stuck with a plot stamp forever. Right now there are some solutions:

• Be careful with saving when you are using an educational version of AutoCAD, keep these drawings outside the non educational environment.
• Faulty drawing: DXFOUT, new proper drawing, DXFIN or...
• New drawing, attach educational drawing as xref, bind and explode.
• In version 2015 there seems to be a built in option to import educational drawings.
