Importing Data into Autocad

Hi,
I sometimes take data from a measurement machine and want to import
into autocad 2000 so that I can recreate the shape. The data takes the
form of a text file where lines are described by the X and Y co-ords
of their start and end points and circles by their centres ( x&y) and
radius.

I know I can Cut and paste each value in acad as requested but i was
wondering if their was anyway i could format the file so i could
import it in one go.
Sometimes I could have a part with maybe 100 entities.
I,m afraif I don't know a whole lot about acac. Thanks

 

HiHo;
A script file should do it.
Post some of the data file and I will start the script for you.

 

Thanks;

Here is a sample of the data to import.
I have already edited it somewhat to make it easier to import and this
is very little work compaired to entering the points in Acad.
I look forward to seeing how it should be done.

coords of the start point and the second line the x and y coords of
the end point
