Back in release 2008 of Inventor the ability to import from an excel spreadsheet was added but at that time it was only point data.

Now with 2009 you have the ability to import that point data with two new options. You can have Inventor create line geometry between those points or spline geometry.

This will work for x,y coordinates from a 2d import or x,y,z coordinates from a 3d import.
