I teach high school drafting and CAD and I have a pretty good method of teaching the basics of AutoCAD to our students. I also use it in Adult Continuing Education classes that I teach as well. I do not get into anything complicated and focus only on the most basic commands and the students seem to pick up on it very easily.

I have often been frustrated with the lack of a good, basic CAD book for people who are new to the field. I have some ideas on what I would like to do in order to create one but I do not know who to go to.

I assume that to use the AutoCAD name and images that you would have to get their permission. Does anyone know how to start this procedure. I know that if adults with no previous knowledge can learn it in four nights then other people can too.
