Autocad for beginners and tutorials

Anonymous — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 10:46:50 GMT

Hi, I am new to AutoCAD and have many programs on my works subscription and would like to learn the basics of drawing in AC to get me going - are there any features or tutorials in Autodesk to help me get started and that would be suitable for an absolute beginner please?

Many thanks

Is the access to this free? I think I noticed this on Autodesk but I wasn't too sure if it would be suitable for beginners - thanks for sending the link

Paid instruction is the best for beginners, you can;t really use free since you really don't know what to look for, know what I mean? You can learn the basics and know what you are looking at and where you need to look when you are ready to learn more. I recommend LYNDA.COM (now part of LinkedIn Learning) for its widest range and excellent online video instructors https://www.lynda.com/search?q=autocad

Thank you for this and I've tried it out but am still struggling with not being able to ask anybody when I go wrong and don't quite understand what to do, but it's also taught me a few things too, thank you
