rkmcswain Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 That was kind of a joke. In other words, there is a LOT of material out there. Not only print material such as the ones I linked in the previous post, but probably thousands of Youtube videos too. Ref: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuY-q5Csg5EE9ZDIAofy5dg https://www.youtube.com/user/thecadgeek Are you using AutoCAD or BricsCAD or some other CAD application?

ReMark Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 What kinds of "tips" were you looking for exactly? You mention "2D construction". What types of construction drawings are we talking about? How about sharing a copy of a drawing you are currently working on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Clayton Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Learn keyboard shortcuts...as many as you can. Build a massive block and lisp library. Don't be a douchebag drafter. The longer you do it, lazy drafting and half assery becomes more prominent and easier to spot...and it will annoy you. So don't be THAT guy.
