    Could anyone recommend any books/online literature that could help me learn to use AutoCAD. I learned the basics 4 or 5 years ago but haven't used it since. I think I could pick it up again reasonably quickly if I had something to refer to when I got stuck. Any suggestions?

    Try here http://www.cadtutor.net/tutorials/autocad/index.php

    I think that there are also some tutorials in the help files.

    Forget about learning cad from a book. the best way of learning it is by using it and as KAGY said to use tutorials. Also try and familiarize your self with the keyboard shortcuts as it will save a lot of time drafting.
