    I'm 100% sure I've done this before but can't seem to replicate it again!

    I want to input a polyline using a series of co-ordinates derived outside the cad file. I thought I had previously gathered them as below:
    .
.
.
-0.00083729736459503,85.5821138157004,29.144859821908
6.34705298011173,85.5821750688527,29.1901086543222
12.6309914114697,85.5822357049098,29.3078786512052
18.8752747589427,84.9138229512393,29.4431028503225
25.1839818401117,84.2385140266481,29.6535474017491
31.4896104094995,83.5635346381177,29.9376784482943
37.7456391112063,82.8938646153374,30.2927832981222
43.9351305530889,81.9040473317771,30.8310936920902
.
.
.

    then typed "pline" into the comand line and pasted the above co-ordinates. Doesn't seem to be happening for me now thouhg.

    Any ideas?

    Try using the 3D polyline command (3Dpoly). All of your z coordinates are different. The standard polyline command assumes a constant z value I think.

    I'd also try entering the values one by one, and pressing enter after each input.

    If neither of these measures work, there a couple of conversion programmes which will convert csv file to dxf which will do the job automatically.

    Thanks. I think you're right about the standard polyline. I managed to do it using the Line command doing more or less what this guy says (it also works in 3D).
