Hello, I've gotten this all in but if I wanted to add a label, say point BC-09,BC-10,etc and have it show up in autocad next to the points I've entered into the display with the Multiple,Point command. I would prefer a similar copy and paste from excel command. Thanks in advance. The pasting from Excel is possible with one type of data only. If you want to write labels, you are dealing with two types of data.

One type is the x,y,z position and the other type is the label text. Lisp will do that easily. Size is no problem. I have a lisp (not available for posting) which did 10,000 points in 29 seconds. A possible solution: draw the points and use a script to put the texts near them.

Software: AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012, Iowa NRCS C3D 2012 template V1.1 (8/23/13). Notation: Button to Press Displayed Text.

Assuming X is stored in the column A, Y in B and the text in C, enter in D1 the formula: =concatenate('text_',A1,',',B1,'_',2.5,'_',0,'_',C 1,'_') Replace the underscores with spaces, I used underscores to clearly mark where to put spaces. Here are the explanations: First you instruct AutoCAD that you wish to start the TEXT command. Put a space after it –it will act like the Enter. A1 and B1 are the cells where the cords are, separated by a comma. Again a space (read: Enter) Enter the text height (only if you don’t use a fixed height text style) fallowed by a space. Enter the rotation angle -zero is for horizontal, but you may enter any legal value, and again a space Enter the address of the text to be placed on the screen: C1 A final space will terminate the command. Once you get the first line, select D1, click and hold the black dot in the right down corner and drag it down to apply the function to all the lines.

Click the column head D (right the letter D) and all the column should be selected. Press CTRL+C, open Notepad and paste the text. Add an extra CR and save the file as Anyname.SCR Drag this file in AutoCAD’s drawing area. Of, and I would disable the snap before that. An other approach could be to place in the drawing blocks containing a point and an attribute.
