 Guys,

 I'm running Autodesk Map 3D 2013 and after installing MGOS, I was unable
 to see my maps because of coordinate system missing error.

 The fact is that MGOS setup a MENTOR_DICTIONARY_PATH env. var. to
 C:\Program Files\OSGeo\MapGuide\CS-Map\Dictionaries\

 It seems that Autodesk Map 3D doesn't setup such an env. var. but will use
 it if it has been set.

 I resolved this issue by setting this variable to the folder that Autocad
 currently uses:
 C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Geospatial
 Coordinate Systems 2013

 Would be nice to have a mean to setup this variable correctly if there is
 an existing Autocad Map installation.
