I have a project where I'm going to be recieving x,y,z data for the topology of an area. And I don't have a sweet clue if I can import that data to AutoCAD to produce one surface? Any help would be awesome!

Maybe something in the CadTools program will work for you.

There is a free "DTM" utility here in the Download section - try it.

Dear All,
I rotated the UCS of a Drawing file. Than copy some features from the file to a new file whose UCS remains as it Original, The pasted features are copied at original coordinates. but when i copy in reverse way i.e. objects from unchanged UCS to the rotated UCS the features are not copied the original position.
so please replay me the Problem behind this......
