I just got AutoCAD R14 and I have no clue on how to use it. Does anyone use this and can teach me the basics? Or can you direct me to a good website where I can learn how to use it? Thanks

 

yeah.. use autocad 2000! why the sudden interest in being a cad monkey? I have some books if you need...

 

I know how to use AutoCAD 14. What do you need to know? You can go to a book store and get a book for it. I have an AutoCad 14 book at home somewhere. I got it when I went to ITT.

 

i got it from a friend and i've been looking for a program that i can use to design some parts.

i just need to know how to use this thing. im playing around with it blind.

 

Too bad you are not using Mastercam, I could of helped you there.

What are you going to be using this software (More specific than drawing)?

 

I just want to draw out some ideas i have.

 

Skip 2000 and jump straight to 2002, or 2005 that should have worked out some small bugs from 2004. I have both of those and they're much more user friendly than 2000 or 2000i. Otherwise I have an R14 book along with a tutorial disk that you can install. I loaned it to a friend but if you want it let me know.

 

ok thanks. for now, a guy that i met in math class is going to help me out. if i still dont get it i'll let you know.

 

dude R14 is simple to use but it's too out of date. 2000i is decent 2002 edition is the shee-it! Solidworks is also nice but some what confusing to use first time out.
