Hey! Welcome to the CAD world, it can be a little daunting at first. I'd suggest starting with the official tutorials provided by the software vendor – they're usually pretty good for getting your feet wet. Also, YouTube is a goldmine! Look for beginner series focusing on the basics like sketching, extruding, and understanding the coordinate system. Even something seemingly simple like drawing a line involves knowing its length and slope, so pay attention to those fundamentals early on. Good luck, and have fun learning!

Welcome to the world of CAD—it can feel a bit overwhelming at the beginning. A great place to start is with the official tutorials from the software provider, as they’re usually well-structured for beginners. YouTube is also a fantastic resource, especially for step-by-step beginner series that cover essentials like sketching, extrusion, and working with coordinate systems. Even basic tasks, like drawing a line, require an understanding of length and angles, so building a strong foundation early really helps. Best of luck, and enjoy the learning process!

A good starting point often involves basic shapes and extrusions. That's the building block before complex models, in my opinion. Think Lego bricks. I once tried to design a complicated machine part without understanding basic geometric constraints. The learning curve was incredibly Steep Slope, requiring me to scrap everything and start fresh with a tutorial on sketch planes.
