You wouldn't install autocad on the CNC computer, you would install it on your own personal machine and create the design there. You could then take that autocad file (or whatever CAD program you used) and import the file into a program like masterCAM, or another CAM program. A CAM program allows you to convert the CAD file into a set of instructions to be read by the CNC machine (G-code in your case).
