Is there a way to extract X-Y coordinates from an Excel spreadsheet to automatically create points on a drawing (map)? Thanks in advance.

In AutoCAD type "multiple" "point", then copy x,y data from spreadsheet, paste this into AutoCAD's command line. Should create points at each x-y coordinate.
 
That works great!!! I had to make sure my northing and easting were in the correct columns and save out my .xls as a .csv to include the comma but besides those few extra steps it worked like a charm. Thanks a lot, that's going to save me a ton of time.
