Hello,
 
I am pretty new to AutoCAD and I am trying to create a pretty simple topographic map with it... But I can't seem to figure out how to creat topographic lines...
 
I have roughly 200 points all with unique x,y,z coordinates and I am trying to create lines at a dynamic x,y but a static z.
 
Does anyone know how I can do this?
 
Thanks,
-James Smyth

You'd need the right AutoCAD version for this - AutoCAD Civil 3D - or an add-on. Look for "digital terrain modelling" (DTM) and isolines (contours).

I am a student at Syracuse University...

We have access to AutoCAD 2007 + 2008.

 
Autodesk Map 3D, Civil 3D, and Land 3D...
 
Thanks for you help, I'll look for that feature.
