Need to get Survey Data into AutoCAD 2007

Need to get Survey Data into AutoCAD 2007

Need to get Survey Data into AutoCAD 2007

(OP)
Hello, I run AutoCAD 2007 and recently met a local land surveyor.  He has a data file of survey points, in the form of a text file, and would like for me to get the points input into an AutoCAD file.  Help!  I think there exist stand alone programs that can do this for me, so is there anyone out there who has done this before and tell me how to do it?  p.s. I don't have Civil 3D, or the money to buy it, so that isn't an option for me.

Can you show the data file .?
It can be done by lisp

hey guys, the file is a text file which is like this:
1, 34, 45, 67, curb

the first number is the node number, then X, Y, Z coordinates, and then a descriptor.  i'm not at my home pc, so let me check the lisp you mentioned CarlB.  Thanks.

The lisp I sent you will work for what you need.  You might need to swap the x and y coordinates, but it will work.
