A question like this is too basic, and is likely to go unanswered. I will try and provide an answer below, but that may not be enough for you. If you want to use MapServer purely as a viewer, and by that, it seems to imply that you want to use it as a desktop viewer (one person), then it is really not the right product. Try looking at QGIS or uDig. MapServer, as the name implies, is a server, and getting it going takes a bit more than insignificant work, usually worth it in a server type demand situation. Whether or not any of these products can read AutoCad data, look at the docs. AutoCad data come in many different formats... which one were you interested in? The docs of any of the above products will tell you. As I said above, you will have to look at your own data formats and then look at the docs of the products you are considering.
