I have the Archicad education version on one laptop and Archicad Start on the other. I am struggling to import the documents from one to the other - what would be the best file type to export in? I have tried multiple options but when opening it, all the sheets and elevations I have created are missing, any tips or suggestions? Anything would be helpful else I will have to restart 11 projects. Thanks
The obvious question is why are you using the education version, which is not permitted for production, for 11 projects, and trying to get it into Start edition? EDU is purposely crippled to prevent people from attempting to avoid purchasing a licensed version. Opening an EDU file in a commercial version will still be limited to the EDU features. Similarly, if you open a commercial PLN in the EDU version, it is converted permanently to an EDU-limited file. See:

I had the education version installed for university and since starting a new job I was asked to test the software to see that it would do the job we wanted. By The time we decided to purchase and get Archicad Start up and running, I had already made too many documents. Had I realized the difficulty and incompatibility of the two, we would of made the switch sooner. I have made a mistake and now just want to know what I can do to fix it? Thanks
A note for anyone else who attempts to trial AC for a company, go get a Trial Licence. This will give you 30 days access with the ability to convert files created in it by purchasing a Full or Solo licence.
you can export the 2D Documentations to PDF the re-import them in a blank Archicad (commercial license) then you cut and paste the documentation to the 3D Model that will be exported via IFC then imported to the new blank Archicad. Its a tedious process...
GRAPHISOFT supports students, educators, researchers and schools with its BIM software solutions by providing free educational Archicad licenses during their educational activities. This support has been given for many years, but from 14 October 2019, the professional trial access to Archicad is separated from the educational site in order to provide specialized customer care for professionals and better educational support for students, educators, and researchers. This new approach is implemented after the #graphisoftLEARN program*. In this post, I will explain to you how to access Archicad for free.
As I mentioned, students, educators, researchers, and schools are entitled to receive the fully functional education version of Archicad for free. For that, first, you need to download the 30-days version from MyArchicad.com platform and then apply for full year extensions until the end of your studies. Keep in mind that the general process is the same for educators, researchers, and schools. You just need to have a valid justification that affiliates you to an educational institute. The following video shows how to register and get a one-year free license for Archicad.
To learn BIM with Archicad you can register for free to get basic training or subscribe as low as 99 euro per month to receive fully live training and professional BIM certificates from GRAPHISOFT. But if you are an advanced user and still want to learn more, check out the GRAPHISOFT BIM Manager program.
Downloading and testing Archicad is now easy and streamlined. With few simple clicks and GRAPHISOFT ID registration, you can download and try Archicad in demo mode and then you can get your trial license to be able to save files as well. To do that, go to Try Archicad page and create your account. If you are in Spain do not forget to choose SIMBIM as your provider for best in class offers and customer support.
In the most recent version of AutoCAD a watermark is added to all printed sheets on each side saying "PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK STUDENT VERSION"... This, frankly, ruins the presentation of my sheets for university work. I am not sure why this has been added to AutoCAD in the most recent version and I am wondering if there is any way to remove it without paying thousands for the full licence?
I've instructed CAD for almost 14 years and there were a few years that implemented the watermark. It was removed for 2017 and 2018 but it's back again and Autodesk is not considering removal at this time. There were a couple of workarounds but those have been negated and I've seen no workaround yet for the 2019 software.
For the benefit of know you should be aware that every drawing created or edited with an educational licensed product will get the watermark, even if initial creation was on a commercial licensed product. I advise that you beware of the watermark before editing any legacy drawings.
I'm pretty sure that you can login to your educational account and download 2017 or 2018 for educational use. If you see those then you could simply resume use of them and uninstall 2019 if you like. Should negate the watermark and still be legit.
Why would a water mark that says made on a student version ruin a presentation that you as a STUDENT are doing? I understand it might not look the best but if you made it on a computer in your university lab it would still have the watermark on it. The watermark is there so a company can't just bypass paying for the product for it's commercial use. Without the watermark they would pretty much never get caught by anyone and use the program for free. Autodesk is in business to make money not support companies with it's software for free. Autodesk let's you use the software as a student for free, the price you pay is the watermark. Some companies are much stingier with student versions. For my archicad student version I needed to send a transcript or a photo student ID with a date on it to get a student version. Plus I need to resend that stuff every year when it expires to prove to them I'm actually still in school. If you aren't actually in school but want to learn archicad you are out of luck as you can not get a free version. Autocads student version is simple to get and you can basically renew it forever which is also why they take precautions so companies don't just use it for free for business.
I'd just ask your professor. He might say everyone's will have the watermark and to not worry about it. Honestly if I was the professor I would never dock points for the watermark. In fact I might actually take points away if you illegally removed the watermark. I wouldn't want to encourage that in my classroom as it could cost a company you get a job for eventually big fines if you did it there. Not to mention you could corrupt their entire server of files by working on something at home on a student version and bringing that back to work.
Yes I understand you want it too look as nice as possible and I didn't mean to sound snippy but the watermark is just the price of having free access to the software. Also as mentioned you can download the 2017 or 2018 student version and use those to avoid the watermark for now at least.
I understand that I'm getting the product for free and thats how educational licences work. I am just generally wondering why it has been added to the 2019 version when it was not present in the previous versions of the product?
AutoCAD2019 reintroduced the EDU watermark: it will always show up if you save or print in your free EDU student software.
There are tips to get rid of it, but it only stays away if the file is never saved or printed from EDU software, or content from EDU software is not inserted into it.
That is how autodesk wants it to work for free EDU licenses now.
Unless the school expects you to buy AutoCAD instead of using the free educational version, I would discuss the watermark with the instructor and determine what the requirement and/or workaround is. The instructor may not realize that the watermark has been put back in the 2019 version.
Try open the file in previous version of AutoCAD,for example AutoCAD 2018, and from there you can try to either plot,convert to pdf or print. There shouldn't be a watermark issues I guess. Or in another way,just try to copy paste everything including exporting all the layers from the 2019 AutoCAD to any previous AutoCAD version. It should be work. All the BEST!!!
Good to know that I don't have you as teacher, because if you would rate my work bad because of a plot-stamp (which is part of the educ program and more important part of the education license agreement) of a software vendor we really would run into a lot of troubles. For me that looks like you are suggesting to either buy the full version or to start actions to remove the plot stamp with the result of violating the license agreement ... that can't be your statement.
Autodesk tried to remove the educ plot stamp from 2015 to 2018, the result was that now a lot of education licenses are used for commercial work. No wonder that Autodesk revised that and now turned the plot stamp back on.
You should really consider the fact that Educators also download the "student version" and it's incredibly unprofessional to have a watermark like that when you are handing out floor plans for students. It's really not a good look, and yes teachers get the software for free, but we're certainly not students and need to present it professionally.
I would also not accept student's work with a watermark - it's unprofessional and can often get in the way of title blocks, sometimes overlapping them. It's bad for the student's portfolio.
As an instructor, I made a similar argument well before the plot stamp was removed in 2015-2018. Schools were paying for their seats of Autodesk products and the campus software did not embed the stamp at all. Instructors could get a single companion license code from the college to install and run on their personal computer at home, with no stamp. This license had to be documented and transmitted to Autodesk. 152ee80cbc
