You can copy coordinates from Excel, paste them into AutoCAD's command line for input to a comman.

In Excel, get the coordinates into a single colimn, with a formula like:

=A1&","&B1

which creates a coordinate in "x,y" format. Create column of coordinates by copying formula.

in Autocad start the "pline" command. When prompted for a point, paste the column of coordinate data. End the pline command. "pedit" "spline" if desired.

Similar approach using "spline" command.
