Hi,
I did a test and it worked here.
When you set up the import file format make sure you are using the correct Coordinate Zone transform. I used LL84 and coma delimited on the Point File Format that I created. Test the structure by loading the file and then parse it.
Ex.- 10,38,59,53.92222629,-77,00,22.74670739,100,Sta
PointNumber,LatD,LatM,LatS,LongD,LongM,LongS,Ele,Desc
That will let you know if the it has a shot of working. Then I imported the points into the MD State Plane system of the dwg. Make sure to put a negative for the westing of the longitude.
