I suggest you use the helpful within autocad. Or even google tutorials on it. If you sketch what the problem is asking on paper, then it can be done on cad.

Of the top of my head, some of the commands that you should look up on the help are snap, zoom, grid, Osnap, layers, dimensioning, and the different shapes (circle, arc, line etc).
