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).

Hello there,

I understand that AutoCAD can be a challenging software to learn, especially if you are not familiar with it. However, with practice and some guidance, you can become proficient in using it.

For the first link, I am unable to access the provided file as it requires a login. However, for the second link, I have taken a look at the drawings and it seems like you are trying to create auxiliary views. My suggestion would be to use the "Auxiliary View" command in AutoCAD, which will allow you to create both full and partial auxiliary views easily.

For the third link, you have mentioned about a required section view, but I am unable to access the file to see what exactly you are trying to achieve. However, in general, to create a section view in AutoCAD, you can use the "Section Plane" command and then use the "Section View" command to create a section view of the desired area.

I hope this helps you in completing your drawings. If you still have trouble, I suggest reaching out to a colleague or a tutor who is familiar with AutoCAD for further assistance. Best of luck!
