	Drawing a world map on a 3D globe.
	A 3D world map (globe with continents and some country boundaries) is available in your AutoCAD or Map installation. In the `SAMPLE\VBA` directory, locate and load the `Map2Globe.Dwg` drawing file. This file doesn't seem to be in 3D but it contains a VBA macro Start_Map2Globe ; you can run this macro using Alt+F8 (Start, Show 3D Globe) to draw a 3D picture.
