Blue prints, huh? And you're right. I have no idea about that "x" amount of time in either copyright or patent law that applies to inventing or writing something. You're also right about SW student version being the same as SW standard, professional, etc. While you're at it tell me more about busting out stuff on CNC machines.
Or maybe you should stay in your lane. I.e posting about how your cat is your best friend and stacking LEOs like cordwood because you skipped a few dime bags and bought a Mosin.
I can program Cnc machines in g code at the machine . I don't use auto cad or master cam software or any of that crap to do it. Give me a print, a simple basic calculator and a pad of paper I can figure out how to program the part. Only time I need to look at the book is for codes I don't use all the times . Ie stuf like a taper pocket etc . Working in a prototype shop running manual machines for a few years you learn how to take a part you never built before and figure out where/how to start and what fixtures you'll need.

With Sw depending on what student codes your able to apply for you can use any version of sw. depends on what program your school etc has set up with them.
Vets can get a code to use professional for a year for free...

Patents and copyrights are not for life . They have time limits depending on what there for and how there setup. That's why I said X amount of time . You know in algebra you use X etc as a variable .....

I love my cat , but I generally post a photo of my Pittbull with my 1911 lol .
Only a dumbass buys a dime bag. You save buying more .
Also I have a crap load of family that are cops you'll all most never see me post about stacking them or any one like cordwood. I mite say a cop that broke the law or is a ass should go to jail or get beat up but that's cause i see them no different .
Who doesn't love a good mosin ?
