Drawings and models can be shared within or between organisations. In this environment there are usually expert users able to offer advice and customise the program, automating common design tasks unique to a particular company. As well as strong drafting features, AutoCAD provides department-level support for programming and drawing administration type work. Accompanying AutoCAD 14 is a multimedia training program complete with tutorials and reference sections. This is more focused for new users than a training manual, and is also suitable for experienced operators upgrading to a new version.
Supplementary materials are available on the Web.
The user guide is very comprehensive, but is written for a CAD-familiar user. However, if this level of support still isn't enough, there are many third parties offering additional training and support. Drawing and modelling takes place within a model space. Here you don't need to scale your drawings, although the program does limit the size of the model space at first, presumably as a speed enhancement feature. Viewports onto this created geometry are set up in paper space, where drawing borders can be added.
