We are a rookie team and are having a difficult time learning how to use Autodesk.

Does anyone have a whitepaper or link to a good tutorial website? We tried the video's on the Autodesk site but they do not show how to create using the parts list. We are used to Lego CAD from FLL - and that was how we were planning on using this tool - by manipulating the parts list - not drawing the specific elements. Can anyone help?
Thank you.
