Dear Jupe01,
There´s no effective way to protect a AutoCAD drawing (DWG file format drawing).
The Autodesk Stamp: "Produced by Educational...." is easily removable, consequently, any similar solution will be removable too.
All other alternatives: DWF file format, send as PDF file format, as GIF image, etc, are partially protection! All can be converted to DWG again (not pure, but effective for lines)
There´s a LISP routine (quite old) reasonably efficient to lock a drawing, named LOCKUP.lsp (see link below) that you can experiment if are useful for you. Don´t forget to make a backup of your drawing before using this routine! It´s irreversible for non expert programmers or CAD users.

Dell Brett
