Mapping data in the SHP format (ESRI shape) can be directly read into AutoCAD Map 3D and AutoCAD Civil 3D (any version). See the function (ribbon) Insert tab > Import panel > Map Import.

If your .SHP file contains graphics plus the object (attribute) data, this data will be attached to the imported objects in the DWG and you can use them optionally - display them as text labels or use them for stylization of the imported objects.

See the detailed procedure (Czech version) in the Map video #10
