The student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full commercial version, with one exception that the DWG files created or edited by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the educational flag). The student version of AutoCAD is cheap when compared to the full version. When such a DWG file is printed by any version of AutoCAD (commercial or student version), the output will include a plot stamp/banner on all four sides of the print. Objects created in the student version cannot be used for commercial use. These student version objects will infect a commercial version DWG file if imported. The Autodesk student community provides registered students with free access to different Autodesk applications.
