Drawing Editor Downloaded Incorrectly when Installing AutoCAD2016 Student

Hello All,

 

Recently downloaded autocad2016 the student version. After installing and opening, the "drawing editor" menu opens incorrectly when I first start the program. It opens misconfigured and wierd. Any troubleshooting ideas? Or should I simply uninstall and then reinstall?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

>> It opens misconfigured and wierd

Can you upload a screenshot so we can see what you see and describe by "misconfigured and weird"?

Here's what my program looks like when I open it. I un-installed everything following autodesk's requirements and installed autocad2016 again and it still appears like this. Perhaps it's because I'm running windows 10 on the PC side of my bootcamped computer? I'm not really sure...

I have a macbook pro that I'm running bootcamp on, so for my PC it's Windows 10 Pro, 64-bit, x64-based processor. Here's what autocad looks like when I first open it...

Hi,

 

I have seen such a situation when the Windows font-size setting is set to anything other than 100%.

Windows 10 is not a supported OS.  Using a supported OS is the fix.
