In AutoCAD Map 3D you can use the 'Load Layer…' UI tool to load a *.layer file and create data layer with specific FDO data source.

If you have many such *.layer files and you want them to load programmatically, you can use Autodesk.Gis.Map.Platform.AcMapMap LoadLayer(string layerFile) API for the same.

Here is a C# code snippet :

    try
    {
        // Get the Map Object
        AcMapMap currentMap = AcMapMap.GetCurrentMap();
        currentMap.LoadLayer(@"C:\Data_set\Layer_Files\Parcels.layer");               
    }
 
    catch (MgException ex)
    {
        ed.WriteMessage(ex.Message.ToString());
    }
