Problem:

When launching a localized (non-English) Civil 3D 2013 using the "Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2013" shortcut, some of the ribbon commands such as Draworder fail with the "Unknown command" prompt.

Solution:

English

1. Launch Civil 3D using the "AutoCAD Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2013" shortcut
2. Enter the "OPTIONS" command
3. In the "Options" dialog box, select the "Files" tab

4. Expand then select the "Support File Search Path" branch
5. Click on the "Add..." button
6. Add the following path:

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\Support\en-us

7. Click on "Apply" then on "OK" to close the "Options" dialog
8. Restart Civil 3D using the "AutoCAD Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2013" shortcut

The Draw order commands should now work correctly.

Does not work for the German Civil 2013 Version....by the way the path for the support file just exist in civil 3d (not civil 3d as Autocad). Also does not work in Civil as Autocad.

The error occurs after the installation of service pack 1 for civil 3d 2013.

Solution for me:

Had to change the Macro in the CUI. --> search for the command e.g. bring to front --> the macro says someting like ^c^c^p_ai_draworder...... --> have to delete the "ai" and everything works fine again

[#4]

There are two other possibilities to try after Service Pack 1 has been installed:
1: Use APPLOAD and put the acad2013doc.lsp into the Start Folder for loaded applications
2. If you Civil 3D application is installed to the standard folders (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013) you can also simply copy the acad2013doc.lsp to C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013\Support\
If you have installed the software to another directory than C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 this solution does not work.

I had same problem and this turned out to be the solution I used. Maybe not the "right" one, but the one I used...

Hello,

great, thank You for that but when I delete ai draworder everything works but only on ribbon when I click on the icon. What about mouse right-click do You know how to solve that? I mean I would like to select an object then right-click and select move front or back.

Best Regards,

Mateusz

No sorry, i use the command with the old bars and there the solution works. Did you try one of the suggestions from user "ks"? Maybe these solve this behaviour.

OK I have EVERYTHING This examle is on Polish CIvil 3D 2013 version. I don't have English so I will translate some commands and options into English - they might be a little bit different in English CIvil 3D but I hope it will not be a problem.

1. RIBBON if You want to use ribbon icons for drawing order (front, back and so on) type CUI. Then look at attached picture. Go to Lista poleceń (Commands list) and search for proper command: Porządek rysowania, Przesuń na wierzch (Drawing order, move to front). You have command [1] with ACAD source. Click it go to right window and delete _ai [4] i Makro field. Click Apply, tne OK. You can now use ribbon icons.

2. MOUSE RIGHT-CLICK - if You want to use right click option (for example: You have selected an object then You click right mouse button and change drawing order: move in front) type CUI. Then look at attached picture. Go to Lista poleceń (Commands list) and search for proper command: Porządek rysowania, Przesuń na wierzch (Drawing order, move to front). You have command [2] with CIVIL source. Click it go to right window and delete _ai [4] i Makro field. Click Apply, tne OK. You can now use RIGHT-CLICK button.

If you did 1 and 2 then You can use both ribbon icon and mouse right click option. It works on my CIvil 3D 2013 so I thik it will work on Yours.

Best Regards to You all.
