Q. Can AutoCad work with LAN Manager?

A. AutoCad works fine with LAN Manager if the AutoCad overlay files

  are on the workstation (local). AutoCad's overlay loading procedure somehow
  does not work with LAN Manager, and the result is that the workstation tries
  to load the overlays off the wrong network drive. For instance, the overlay
  files are on drive X, but the workstation tries to load from L, then issues
  an "unable to locate ..." error message. This does not happen if the overlays
  are local.
