Nothing standard for it, make a own VBA file or LISP

Here is a free autolisp fix for this problem. It allows lists of 2D or 3D points, saved as .csv files from Excel to be plotted into ACAD. If you are not familiar with running lisps, let me know - I have an instruction sheet for this program.

8) I don't know about plotting the points but I have an ARX file that take a txt file containing NORTHING,EASTING and ELEVATIONS and create either contours, tin or a solid model from these points.

The attached lisp file on my earlier post did not take - the program is available at http://mysite.verizon.net/~vze2vjds/ascpoint.lsp. Email me if you have trouble - I'll send you the file.
