There are add on packages for enhanced Block library use. I can't even remember what Acad14 had other than insert, does it have preview even? Go to CADalog.com for blocks maybe, also look at CADaddon for library software, CADopolis, Dotsoft, I think they still have stuff for R14.
HP DesignJets are very good, the one we have has lasted for going on 9 years without a hitch. However I would try to get a more recent version of it because of driver issues with Acad2k, It worked very fast with Acad14, but it is noticeably slower with 2K, not from when printing starts, just...
I'm thinking not. It sounds like an on board video controller, not a true graphics card. It might work alright for doing basic 2D Acad though, try it and see if it will suit your needs. If you have an AGP or open PCI slot on your motherboard, you can get a workable Video card for around a $100...
This may sound wacky at first, but don't use those 3D commands like sphere, cylinder, and whatever. Get in the habit of using Extrude, Revolve to make your 3D solids. For your example, if I understand it correctly, make a circle, draw a line thru the diameter, trim to make a half circle, join...
I'm pretty sure it will work, I use 2000i with 98 just fine. If your using 3D, make sure you have at least 256mb of ram and a decent Video card, 512 would be even better. Autodesk will say Win2000 for optimal performance.
