Drawing long sections

Hi

first post, i am wondering if anyone knows how you can plot a polyline simply from an input file using co-ordinates?

I have used CAD for a couple of years and dont know any one who can do this. It is simple to do in MX Road, and thought there must be a function / routine that can do that in CAD.

Thanks for your time

Our company uses MX, and the engineers output a file to AutoCAD, and I then explode all the MX objects(proxys) into native ACAD objects, and change the lineweights/layers etc

from your coordinate file, create another file (either ascii or Excel) with coordinates in format of x,y. Start the polyline command in AutoCAD, then copy the group of coordinates from file and paste to the AutoCAD command line; the polyline command will continue using those coordinates.
