Well... no :-)
I could install and run 2008, even with Register Today screen, it's enough to
use native shlwapi.dll and, IIRC, native GDIPLUS.
That said, autocad 2008 has still many small caveats and bugs under wine. I
could manage to make it "usable" to some extents, but I'd not recommend it for
production usage.
OTOH Autocad 2005 works about perfectly with the patches and native shlwapi
(which is required just for register today window). I'm using daily for my job
and it works like a charm, sometime better than on native xp. Only remaining
caveat is that text drawing with TT fonts is very very slow... I'm digging into
it by now.

What surprises me is a bit of lack of interest on applying the 2 patches that
makes it work to the mainstream. One is totally harmless or even corrects a bug
in opengl; the other needs just a test on windows, which I can't do.
