HI Tim,
RhinoCad is very similar to Autocad in that it uses all the same commands
and techniques. So, any tutorial on Autocad or other 'standard' Cad system
will be helpful. Rhino has an advantage over Autocad in that it
'automatically' produces rendered 3D images but, for me, it has the great
disadvantage that all its commands need to be entered in full - like
'circle' (to draw a circle) rather than just the 'c' of Autocad.
I would recommend that you try to learn to use Rhino from the command line -
just type the commands from the keyboard - rather than using the mouse all
the time - its very much quicker and easier when you get used to it.
Best wishes,
Ian

The problem is not the lack of a tutorial (I am working through the
level 1 tutorial and have already completed the ones in the help menu),
but all the concepts and controls that need to be learned. I would say
that so far it has about 3 times the number of commands that you use
regularly compared to Vector. Not that it is bad, just much more to
master before you can become productive.
If you have some good tutorial sites why don't you post them. I know
there are some people on the list that got the Rhino/Visual mill combo
deal so there are a few beginners other than me.
Tim
