Look for books on architectural design and drafting.  All it takes is a simple search.

Your choices are...

1. Take a class at a bricks and mortar school or an online school
2. Self learn via books, tutorials and online videos
3. Find a mentor to guide you
4. Attend a class given at an authorized AutoCAD reseller

things is hardly any 'pro' wants to give practical advice, and not to sound snooty but the vocational training schools here are seriously lacking as well. most of what i figured out was through trial and error and a subscription to lynda.com.
so now im here trying to find some relevant discussions and finding people who actually know what they are doing......

i know a month isnt a long time to devote to a learning path, but i take my time making a a decisive, implementing it is not an issue.

well, i have the program down, been on it for only a month, but busting my butt learning the ins and outs. 
however i have zero background in architecture or design so kind of on my own there.

That would depend on where you'll be working doesn't it?  The standards may vary from country to country.

As far as setting up architectural drawings any good architectural drafting and design book will tell what exactly is needed for such things as foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, framing plans, electrical and plumbing plans, roof plans and typical details that may be required.  You'll also learn about window and door schedules as well as producing a bill of materials.

What is your CAD experience thus far?

Hi!,

im a fairly new user, trying to to get my autocad tech certification. 
i was wondering if anyone can suggest a book or a website where i can learn about standards in drawing?

thing is im trying to create a portfolio of drawings, my own designs, but without a background in architecture or design, im sort of flying by the seat  of my pants.

any advice is appreciated.
