Enable Map 3D Commands

I read about something interesting tonight. It seems that the 32-bit version of AutoCAD Civil 3D, the AutoCAD Map 3D commands are not automatically enabled when you start AutoCAD Civil 3D.

The commands are enabled if you switch to an AutoCAD Map 3D workspace. If you want to run the commands at the command line without switching to an AutoCAD Map 3D workspace, then you can use the Enable Map Commands command.

Use this command if you receive an “Unknown Command” message when you attempt to run an AutoCAD Map 3D command at the command line.

After the commands are enabled, they remain enabled for the remainder of your AutoCAD Civil 3D session.

The 64-bit version of AutoCAD Civil 3D automatically loads the AutoCAD Map 3D commands so the Enable Map Commands command has no effect in the 64-versions.
