How to import XYZ coordinates as DWG points with elevation labels?

If you need to import a number of XYZ points from Excel or a CSV file to your AutoCAD drawing, you can use e.g. using the Xls2Curve utility. Select the block option for import.

If the imported block has a proper automatic (dynamic) attribute, it will display "its own" elevation (Z-coordinate) as a text label.
