Sorry, I forgot to precise that I have a large number of points! So I'm looking for an automatic way to import these datapoints to draw the polyline...

Could you tell me how to do it? I'm a beginner with AutoCAD. I just need to use the POLYLINE option and it will offer me to enter my datapoints?
Many thanks for your help.

It depends on what specific drawing you want to draw. It is quite easy to import the points (coordinates) as individual POINT entities or BLOCK inserts or POLYLINE segments. AutoCAD Civil 3D allows to use a datapoint file with feature codes to draw a surveyor plan (map) automatically.
But for a specific type of drawing you would need an add-on utility.

Hi everyone,
I don't know if this has been already asked (sorry if so): I'd like to create a drawing with AutoCAD using datapoints, say from an Excel of text file. Any idea how to do that?
Many thanks.
Nick
