anybody get this 2D CAD program working? I would love to try it out as I've been messing with AutoCAD since the early 90's

Yes, what problem are you having?

It requires topaz 8 (or similar?) to be selected at the system font.
It opens a 1280x720 8 bit (UAEGFX) screen by default, so you may need to edit the config if this is not available.
It wouldn't open any requesters (it uses the ancient arp.library) - solved this by running AslToRT.

Clicking on the RTG-Mode icon should open the config file in Ed.
If you prefer to use a different editor you just need to open ATcadUAE/AT_Config/bild.dat with it.
Then you need to edit the first 3 lines to match your screenmode. (8bit modes only?)

A tool like GetModeID can show you the required hex value.

Thanks that got me in; however, no matter what screen mode I choose the screen gets diverted to my native screen (not my RTG) and I can only see 3/4 of the screen...mouse works and I can use pulldowns but I can't use the mouse on the screen or exit the program?

I guess this program is quite fussy about what screenmode it uses...
A newer version was posted to Aminet a couple of days after your first post, just in case you missed it:
