Aid in using AutoCAD

There are lots of books on AutoCAD. You can try Google or check your neighborhood bookstore.

I was in the same situation a few years ago. I had used the first version of AutoCAD and then stopped. The next one I encountered was 2003. Basically, the differences were minor, you can still draw the same way as you used to. The only thing was there were a lot of new features and a few methods had changed. It took some time to learn but I got through it without buying a book or guide.

I've changed over completely to PowerPoint but then, my needs are not sophisticated enough to require AutoCAD, so I'm happy.

Please goto help and see some of the examples and tutorials provided in Help.

This is a good site for tips & tutorials.

thanks for your input.this site is very useful.

It would be quite in order for the employee to request training from the employer. Training is the process of encouraging the desired behaviour. If the emplyer wants the employee to use A2004 and the employee hasn't been trained on it, it is in both parties' interests to have the appropriate training completed.

Thanks for your feedback, I actually was trying to help the person requesting assistance with AutoCAD. Some how it was understood that I am the one needed it, which is not the case. My apologies for such an inconvinience.

When I was in your position, I found Inside AutoCAD quite helpful, and not too expensive.

I found myself in the same situation and the above responder is correct, there is not that much difference but there are better features and you probably have been away from it so long that you are very rusty. I purchased an AutoCAD 20004 for dummies and it was very helpful.

CHECK AUTODESK WEBSITE; GOOGLE "AUTOCAD" AND SEARCH FOR MANUALS W/ CD TUTORIALS; CHECK BOOKSTORES LIKE BARNES & NOBLE FOR MANUALS W/ CD TUTORIALS; CHECK LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOR AUTOCAD COURSES ALTHOUGH THE VERSION BEING TAUGHT MAY NOT BE 2004 YOUR INSTRUCTOR SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP YOU OUT W/ MINOR CHANGES. IN MY OFFICE A FEW OF US WHO ONLY USE AUTOCAD FOR CONCEPTUAL DESIGN WORK STILL USE 2000, WHILE THE CADD OPERATORS USE AUTOCAD MAP AND/OR CIVIL 3D 2008. IF YOUR CLASS IS IN 2007 YOU CAN SAVE YOUR WORK IN CLASS TO 2004 AND USE IT ON YOUR WORK STATION.

Hi,

Are you on Autodesk Subscription?

If you are, you can access their e-learning tutorials via the Autodesk Subscription web site.
