AutoCAD?

Well yes it can be done. But will it work.
Autocad by it's very nature is very processor hungry. Metaframe/Presentation server is in the business of presenting applications to many users and therefore anything that degrades a server = very bad thing.
If you wish to go ahead and try this by all means try.
Do a pilot with a sinlge user and meaure performance. Then add another user etc etc.
If you want to give other apps to users I would say you will have to present them from another server/s. Provide Autocad from a server/s of its own.
It probably is not worth the hassle though.
Another alternative is to use a viewer, if viewing is all that is required.
Cheers

I have published AutoCad lite 2004 on a Citrix Metaframe 1.8 server for 5 users. It is working fine although currently each of the users using this published app need high local permission levels (Power user). I am currently working to find out why this is.
