To generate contours in AutoCAD, one must import point data with elevations, define the surface boundary and preferences like contour interval and grid spacing, generate the contours by running the contour program and selecting the points and boundary, and then view the 3D surface and contours that were created. The five main steps are importing surface data, defining the boundary and preferences, generating the contours, and viewing the results in 3D.
