Importing CSV file

Hi all, 

I work for a land surveyor that uses gps data in a CVS file in his drawings. He currently uses AutoCAD 2004, while I use AutoCAD LT 2016. When he sends me a drawing that has points inserted from those CSV files they do not appear when opened in AutoCAD LT 2016. I am also unable to import the CSV data points directly into the drawing. Is there something I am missing, or is it just not possible without downloading extra software?

Thanks,

Matt
