So I have imported a path of GPS points and have them mapped in autocad where I want them, what I now need to do is place a symbol (a circle with an M in the middle of it) over each dot. I have the symbol as a separate layer but know no easy way to add this symbol to each dot so that the dot is in the centre of the circle. I can simply copy and paste the symbol and drag manually to each dot but this will take forever as there is over a thousand dots and accuracy of the dot being centered would not be spot on. Any help?
The path of points is a block with the individual points in that block, the symbol is also a block. Do I do this in block editor? I understand what you mean but am not entirely sure how to do it as am very new to autocad.
Do i type this in block editor for the block of dots? When i follow this it asks whether I want to redefine "new block" (the block name for the path of dots) because it already exists.

It already exists because you just made one called new block. In the save dialog, simply rename the new block to another name. new block-01 ... new block-02 ... etc ... or get creative and call it something that is significant to what it does. Perhaps rather than a dot, call it a Benchmark or a monument .... whatever.
