If I were trying to give someone example DataCAD drawings for them to train with to become familiar withe DataCAD where could I find these?
If you type in "DataCAD Videos" in Google, then switch to the videos tab, there are a series of beginner tutorials by Alternate Angle (India) which would probably get someone not used to the software up to speed with the basics and some of what it can do. MM also produced some more advanced videos, I think between v12 - v15 which are useful to know for the various topics covered, but unfortunately, the quality isn't always the best as some were recorded live at DBUG. Again, these are available via Google. You could also try looking through here -

There's also a number of books produced covering the basics you note above - type "DataCAD Books" in Google to see them. There was a tutorial book of an old school house which came with the DataCAD manual up to around v11 or when everything went to downloads. Copy inserted below of just the 2D portion of the tutorial in PDF:
