I started to use AutoCad 2012 for student (my pc is windows vista business 32bit, service pack 2) . And I had a hard time installing it. I am not sure it is because of that but every time I open AutoCad, I see the sign says " the drawing file eing opened was not created by a product from an Autodesk Education suite." If you save this drawing, it will always be plotted with the follwing plot stamp: PRODUCED BY AN AUTODESK EDUCATIONAL PRODUCT it is recommended that you save this drawing with different file name.""
I don't really understand what this means.
I also have problem with using measure (distance). the line does not appear. My teacher said there should be. so, maybe broken?
The plot stamp warning is exactly what it says. When you plot, it will include a plot stamp because this is a STUDENT version. Your instructor knows about this, it's no big deal.
Regarding your usage of the DIST (or MEASUREGEOM) command. What line are you talking about? The line that shows up when you pick the two points?
I don't know about there being a line between the points but my command doesn't work at all. I just installed AutoCAD15LT on my computer and I can't get the command to work. It seems to lwt you pick your points but it just resets and doesn't give you a distance. Any ideas as to what that could be??

A shot in the dark ... how many command lines are exposed? 1, 2, 3 ??. Have you tried pressing F2 to see the text screen of ACAD and check the last prompt lines that you cannot see on the command line window?
FWIW
