The AutoCAD support tech for my company has just turned in his resignation, and I'm expecting to have to support the AutoCAD users now. Well, the only thing I know about ACAD is what the name is. Where can I get some top quality info in a hurry??
Network: Novell 4.x svrs, WinNT4 wstns (soon upgrading to 2000), FDDI nwk.

There are any number of excellent AutoCAD books out there if you need to learn the product (which I doubt). Keep in mind graphic files (and backups) consume MUCH disk space and your 1st concern MUST be to learn what and when to purge and/or update historical data. Other than that AutoCAD is just software that works on computers just like a word processing and/or spreadsheet product works. Relax and leave the programming and/or operations questions to users with the manuals and just keep the security and network structure consistent.

p.s.: If you must learn AutoCAD I suggest you take a 1 year leave and "bust your buns" studying before answering your 1st question. It's an awesome product!

Thanks for the input, but I'm looking for specifics. Any PALM-docs or texts or websites that you know of that would help me gain info FAST?? I've done a little learning, as I've acquired AutoCAD r13 (users have r14) for study at home. Having a second and third resource couldn't hurt.

Well, that's true, but I'd like to have something on-hand which I can study at home, etc. Are there any PALM-docs, or easy texts, or websites that would really be effective??
