    Not much support out there for LT, especially if you're looking for free stuff. The official AutoCAD LT Blog with some good tips can be found here: http://ltunlimited.typepad.com/

    If you don't mind purchasing, you can always get the Official Training Courseware from Autodesk. They are great resources and will guide you through step by step. You can, however, get started with some good tutorials straight from Autodesk here: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet...linkID=9240815

    If you want to purchase official training material, try here: http://store.autodesk.com/DRHM/store...ctID=126417600

    Just remember, you can always come back here to ask questions. Hope this helps.

    Many books are written with both the full version and LT in mind. May not be the best solution for you but it is an option.

    Example: AutoCAD 2011 and AutoCAD LT 2011 by George Omura.

    Thank you both for your advice. I have downloaded the book by George Omura unto our Kindle (Kindle for PC as well). I have found it to be very helpful so far. I am also reading and gleening information from the links that you posted. Once again, thank you.

    The best way to learn is to practice. Use the book and any tutorials as needed. If you get stuck or something is unclear then return here and post a question. We'll do our best to answer it.
