plines and circles - tutorials

Good day...This is my first visit here and I am hoping I may have found a resource to help me with recurring problems I am facing in my attempt to learn autoCAD. I am attending a technical school but, much to my surprise, it is pretty much a self-taught program. I am afraid I am having problems grasping even some of the basics but I cannot find any resources at my library, bookstore, or on the web. I have almost completed this particular assignment, but it took me several hours and I am quite sure it could have been done more easily and quickly. (possibly with pline) I used a series of circles which I then aligned and trimmed based on the diameters given in the problem. Can someone explain the better way to accomplish this and if I could use pline, precisely what steps are involved? Thanks so much.

I'd agree with that; drawing without object snaps is a HUGE no-no..

Though perhaps part of the exercise was designed to make you look-up snaps and see how/why they're desirable and useful, and what snaps are availible?

That teaching style can come back to bite you, because once you've instructed someone to draw without snaps, you'll forever be zooming in on their non-intersecting intersections and/or seeing little "nubs" hanging past an intersection on a print-out. (I swear that when you have a nub like that.. AutoCAD has always taken GREAT PAINS to make sure that nub shows-up clearly in all print-outs)

However, by the same token.. once you've drawn without snaps, and have seen what a mess you make, especially if you go to create a "hatch" at the end of a two-hour exercise in drawing an elaborate maze... maybe you don't skip 'em anymore..?
