Upload the Excel spreadsheet somewhere and put a link to it here so we can have a look at it.

 

I believe with a lot of work it is possible. Ideally you want AutoCad Civil 3D more so though.

 

Your post is also rather unprofessional given the lack of capitalization where appropriate, grammar and general care taken in it in my opinion.

There is nothing more discouraging or more discourteous to the OP than being a grammar grouch in the first reply.

 

You are only allowed to be a grammar grouch when you are aged 80 plus - but you may already be there

Perhaps, although the OP is not a student. He is a professional surveyor and should act as such in my opinion.

As he comes from India, you should be tolerant, as English might not be his first language.

 

The meaning of his request comes over very well, but it is curious that he should choose to post in the Chat section of the Forum.

Like Dink87522 its not that hard if your an engineer then maths should no be a problem as per his extra link post I know I have a long and cross routine but for copyright reasons can not paste here.

 

Any way how to do it and using excel is probably a good way in a long section you have two values a chainage and a rl choose a datum rl the the length of the lines is just scale * (rl-datum) start line is ch,Rl end is ch,new Rl in autocad this is line 100,60 100,92.354 then line 110,60 110,96.687 and so on top line is just line 100,92.354 110,96.687 120,94.567 130,96.666 and so on.

 

Now to make it work you can have a excel with a single line per what is to be typed

 

Line 
100,92.354
110,96.687
120,94.567
130,96.666

Note blank line on end this is a press Enter

 

You can copy and paste a column from excel directly to the Autocad command line.

 

Experiment with the script command copy the example and saves as test.scr then in Autocad Script test
