MAP or C3D can I believe, in plain AutoCAD I think you already know this http://www.teledyne-pds.com/faq-2/can-we-import-point-cloud-data-in-autocad/

I think the latest round of releases is now limited to ReCap files.  Since ReCap is included with almost all products it shouldn't be an issue (aside from not meeting the strict requirements of "no other programs"), and the ReCap point clouds have better performance in host programs.

Cheers, the workflow seems fairly simple with recap and the Autocad functions are greatly improved with a recap native file. Cheers
