Hi, can any body point me in the direction of a tutorial that shows me how to do this:

basically i have a 3d model in auto cad, i want to take this model and create 10 or 20 2d view of diffrent elements of it (top, bottom, front, back, iso sections ect) with all the drawings alligned correctly (top view sits above front view, right views sits to the right of the front view ect) i would then like to dimension individual elements of the model and have a little marker display the radius.

i am new with autocad but i have experience with solidworks and its as simple as pressing a few buttons, is there somthing similar in autocad?

Thanks alot!
