Hi...
With LISP routine You can do it. You need a lisp routine?

Does it need to be parametric? Do you need to be able to modify it? If not, then maybe have a routine pull the line points from an Excel spreadsheet to draw your polylines.

In my opinion, this is the simplest way to draw (poly)lines using the co-ordinates stored in Excel:
Go to your Excel sheet. If your co-ordinates are stored in the columns A, B and C, in the cell D1 enter the following formula:
=CONCATENATE(A1,",",B1,",",C1)
The result should be the 3 co-ordinates for the first point, separated by coma. Select the cell D1, pick the point on the bottom-right and drag it down. Now the D column contains the co-ordinates in that format. Select all the data in the D column and press CTRL+C. Go to AutoCAD and start the LINE command (or the 3DPOLY , if you wish). You are prompted for the first point. Click in the command line and press CTRL+V.The lines are on the screen, right? Press Enter to end the command.
