At the moment the license server is causing me more issues


Well, you should tell me :
1) Which wine version do you have (git ? downloaded sources from somewhere ? )
I suggest you to fetch latest git as in tutorial
2) Don't forget to use winetricks and install dotnet2.0 and msxml3. Without first one the install crashes (it tries to install upgrade of dotnet 1.1 ....) and without the second (IIRC....) menus/toolbars do have problems.

Besides those (AND obviously the patches in wine...) my installation doesn't have problems, and autocad works good even with compiz enabled.
Ah, the native shlwapi.dll is needed JUST to show the register now dialog. If you works in demo mode, no need at all.
