I'd read the link that Cad64 gave you about using viewports. A quick explanation of using viewports in paperspace: You draw whatever you are drawing in Model space, at full size. (A full size car, house, planet, or whatever it is). You have your drawing border in paperspace, the same size as the particular paper size you want to use. You put one or more viewports within the drawing border to 'view' the modelspace, setting the scale of the viewport to fit/view whatever is needed. You plot the paperspace at 1:1 on the same size piece of paper as the border size. (or 'scale-to-fit' to fit it onto smaller paper sizes). So everything is drawn actual size, the only scaling is done by the viewport. (Unless you also want to plot a large sheet size onto a smaller piece of paper).

AutoCAD 2014 was pre Windows 10 and not supported. AutoCAD 2016 was the first supported in Windows 10, with an update IIRC. A different Graphics card and/or driver my resolve this problem, but hard to say, but problems with the Ribbon and Quick Access and other similar things seem to be par for the course. You could always just stay on Windows 7 or upgrade AutoCAD. Longbow claims to have a fix as well.

This is a very odd drawing to look at. It's like an isometric and plan view drawing combined in the same drawing. The height of the main triangle is 12. It's shown on the side edge. I would probably start by drawing the 127 dia. centerline circle, then draw the three small dia. holes, then offset the holes to get the rounded corners of the triangle. Then you can draw the lines for the edges of the triangle using the Tangent Osnap. Then Trim everything and run the Polyedit command to join all the segments of the triangle into one continuous polyline. That should get you started. Let us know if you get stuck.

DME55: No reply? I too remember AutoDesk Learning Assistant I just don't recall when it was stopped being released. Anyway, here are some options for learning AutoCAD while avoiding Penn-Foster. 1) The Mycadsite.com. Still the best free AutoCAD learning website in my opinion. The website's author has been producing tutorials since 1999. 2) The CAD Institute. If you are intent on doing an online certificate course then try this one. I would recommend signing up for these three courses to begin with: Fundamentals of AutoCAD, AutoCAD Tips & Tricks, and AutoCAD in 3D. There are three very specific courses available that cover AutoCAD for the architectural, electrical and mechanical disciplines. 3) Lynda CAD Training. They offer AutoCAD training and tutorials via videos created by AutoCAD professionals. 4) For self learners I'd recommend the Ascent Center for Technical Knowledge. They produce the manuals and DVDs used by Authorized AutoCAD Resellers to teach AutoCAD. One of the four above should work for you or anyone else seeking to learn AutoCAD.
