Hello,

It would really help if You could provide a screenshot presenting Your problem. Then the answer could probably be fast and direct.

This is how AutoCAD 2015 correct start-up window looks like. From The Icon at Top-Left corner You should be able to start new Drawing.

If You're missing "line tools" I'm guessing You cannot see the Ribbon. Could You try the RIBBON command after You've opened the drawing?

Have You imported any settings from previous/other versions of Your AutoCAD?

Perhaps You can try the "Reset Settings to Default" options that You're unable to start new drawing. If that still doesn't help, I'd recommend reinstalling the product.

Kind Regards,
Pawel

HI,

• Ctrl+N for beginning a new drawing.
• change STARTMODE = 1 this system variable will make start tab enabled and displayed ( you must restart AutoCAD for the Start tab to be displayed ).
• change MENUBAR = 1  this system variable will display of the menu bar.
• type RIBBON in commnad line to make it active.

this is the basics and beginning tools that you have to know to start and use AutoCAD.and there is more and more...
