AFAIK, the best way to learn cad is to use it to draw something that needs to be drawn.

I advise people to draw their house. While this may sound silly, if you draw something that exists, you have instant feedback as to whether you're doing it correctly or not.

Take measurements, make sketches, crack open the user's guide and start drawing! Draw full size in model space, then switch to paper (layout) space and format a sheet or two.

Keep hammering at it until the drawing looks like the actual object. IN the process, you will have to learn the commands to perform the drawing and what's more, you'll remember them much better than a structured course or self-study.

The learning curve is steeper but but the knowledge gained is more permanent.

Good Luck! :lol:
