ORD 2021 CE: Which is the most efficient way to draw an alignment using list of point coordinate (x, y, z)

Question

Hello, 
 Good morning, 
 Could you please help to guide me the efficient way to draw / make an alignment using list of point coordinate as screenshot below: 
 I tried to draw smart line first by using key-in "xy=........;xy=......;.... But the key-in has limited the character with normally 15 point coordinate, therefore, I can not complete it in one time.

This video describes use of the tool Mark mentioned. Video: Import Horizontal Geometry from ASCII file If you do not have spirals or radii, enter 0 to have the software use your points and have it recognize that it's an alignment. You'll want to add an entry for each curve radius. Here's a general format you'll want to try to follow as pointed out in that video. I recommend adding your points as a separate process "Import Horizontal Points from ASCII" so they can be labeled as points using the Civil Labeler. (Mark, I can't figure out why that doc page you posted shows "options" I'm not seeing in 2021 R1... Were there additions to this tool in newer versions - the link you sent is 2022 R1 info).
