Is there a way to have the mapwspace (Task Pane) show at startup in 2015? In previous versions one could go through the ribbons to enable this but that seems to have disappearred in 2015.
In 2014 one could do this (from the Help file):
Step 2 now activates a command line set of prompts that does not set the Workspace to show at startup.
Again, how do I get the Task Pane to show in Civil 2015 at startup?
A couple of things you could try, second one will work for sure.
1. On you Workspace Gear, Go to Workspace settings and set to Automatically Save Workspace changes. Turn on MAPWSPACE and then change workspaces and change back. Should save to your workspace. You could also manually get into your CUI to set this I believe. I personally like to set the Workspace to not save changes when I'm done making changes so that I don't mess up my CUI.
2. You can add an ACAD.lsp file to your Product support directory (C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2015\Support). In the ACAD.lsp place the following.
(command "MAPWSPACE") - this will auto start the MAPWSPACE for every session. (you can also add other items to this lisp if desired.

When I type MAPOPTIONS at the command line I get command line options that do not inlcude the Task Pane (see attached). (BTW, I have fiedia set to 1)
I had tried that and it did not work.
I am now suspecting a company-built add-on is causing a problem.
Thanks for your response.
Ah, I think I know the issue... It's a 2015 installation known issue. Map commands don't get added to the Options -> File Paths correctly so all commands are suppressed in command line.
To fix, go to Options, Files, Support File Paths and Add the following if not already there
Then Apply, Ok, Close C3D and reopen. Then try the MapOptions command.

Thanks for the correction @Jeff_M ; not sure how I ended up getting both paths in my options support files...
