I use Draftsight as the price is excellent (free) and it works with AutoCAD files. The first time I tried to use a CAD program the computer did not have a mouse, one had to key in coordinates or use the cursor keys. Didn't even have a library for extension line arrow heads. Tha'st got to date me.
I almost gave the computer the drop test, but waded though and could produce some very simple 2D drawings.
Later I taught myself CAD and do OK with 2D files. Never had the opportunity to use 3D very much (Inventor) so really didn't get to learn it.
There are plenty of on-line tutorials for CAD and have been quite helpful.
