Does anyone know where I can find a copy of an instruction book or manual for AutoCAD 2007 on the internet. I'm starting a new job this week, and I need to learn how to use it.

Cheers.

you left it a bit late, there isn't much of this week left.


i recommend you consider buying a reference manual like this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/AutoCAD-2007-LT ... F8&s=books

i used to work somewhere where they had this in the engineering department and it is seriously complicated - there is a massive learning curve - it's not something i think you can pick up without having it on your computer and playing around with it. there is a fairly complex scripting language with it too i seem to remember them using when they were sending things to be machined. it was a long time ago, so my memory might be wrong and the language might be simple, but you will need one of those big bible types books.

Just got a copy of Autocad 2007 for dummies, seems to be doing the job.

Cheers for your suggestion.
