AutoCAD primer for beginners?

[andrew.189591]

I have a few employees whom I'd like to get familiarized with CAD basics, mainly so that if they need to reference a drawing or make a quick calculation they can do it themselves if I'm busy elsewhere at the time. So I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a website I can point them to that they can go through on their own time and get familiar with navigating through different views and basic drawing and annotation?

Thanks in advance.

You could get them to join AUGI and point them in the direction of the ATP's (http://www.augi.com/education/archive.asp?page=293).

The ATP's are a very good tool

Or you could try:

Okay that last part was a joke :lol:
