Pete -

I am familiar with 2 HP products that would meet your need:

 Engineering Graphics System (EGS), p/n B1646A

 ME10, p/n B1310A

As far as AutoCAD running on HP-UX, AUTODESK does not have any plans within
the next year to port to HP-UX.  However, AutoCAD does run on the DOMAIN
operating and would work on 2500/3500/4500 Apollo systems.  AUTODESK didn't
know whether it would also work on the new Series 400 hardware running DOMAIN,
but I believe it should.

Another source of potential programs is the "HP-UX and Apollo DOMAIN Solutions
Catalog", p/n 5952-2297D.  There are several programs listed under the
"Mechanical Engineering" section.  Your local HP sales office should be able 
to supply you with a copy.
