Hi guys, i'm designing a warehouse layout and i've just gotten hold of the trial for Autocad 2014. I don't see any blueprint templates to start me off, may i know how to start it? As i'm not an angineer but i've been tasked to do the designing for the layout of the warehouse and i think Autocad is one of the best tools to do it albeit i've to do it before the trial ends.

There are imperial and metric templates to get you started.  I'm guessing you would use metric.  The template file you want to open is called acadiso.dwt.I'm also guessing all your work will be done in 2D.  If that is the case then you should have downloaded the free 2D CAD program called DraftSight by Dessault Systemes and the free "Getting Started with DraftSight" guide which comes in PDF format.  DraftSight is an AutoCAD-clone and many of the commands and the way the program is laid out is very similar to AutoCAD.
