1. Use recent version of Wine(tested with Wine-1.3.8)
2. Download winetricks by following command
wget http://www.kegel.com/wine/winetricks
3. Install required components by following command
sh winetricks dotnet20
It will take some time because winetricks will download all above components
4. navigate to your AutoCAD 2006 CD and run
wine setup.exe
PlayOnLinux way
You can install your AutoCAD 2006 using PlayOnLinux (some kind of gui for Wine). I think it's the easiest method because script will tell you step by step what to do. To do so you'll need:
Do not use Wine 1.1.19 because in this version there is a regression which causes toolbars to be mis-sized.

cannot activate
by Trevor Williams on Wednesday December 15th 2010, 22:10
Whenever I try to activate, I'm taken to a blank window with two radio buttons and no text is displayed. I can switch between the radio buttons but nothing is ever rendered in the window. I'll be playing with graphics and window management options to see if anything works. Any thoughts?
