I have an MS Access database with sign locations in latitude & longitude. Can I import this data as points?

Thanks!

If you are using vanilla autocad I believe you'll have convert the lat-long to coordinates (e.g. state plane, utm)first.
 
I'm using Land Desktop. Does that make it easier?

There might be a way to convert lat-long to points using the survey module, there doesn't seem to be a way using LDD.
 
you can convert lat and long using CORPSCON. Do a search for it on the internet. It's a free download.
