since the box from Turbosketch is near me, I may have posted that. I did not save any Excel files into the turbosketch program. I just typed them all in from scratch. Turbosketched was used to get a tiled, lifesize, output from my printer. Each form took several sheets of paper, but after they were taped together they were the same, finished size as the forms.

I suppose you could copy and paste the info from a cell in Excel into an input box in Turbosketch so as to avoid typing errors, but I'm not sure you'll really save any time doing it that way.

Something you might try, though. Using Excel, draw yor forms in the default size -- which will be ratre small. Then take that illustration and paste it into a document you create in a word processing program, like Microsoft Word.

The word processing program probably lets you scale the imported graphic to anything you want, with very good precision, and onscreen rulers. You may need to diddle with it, but if you define your page as some huge size, and get the magnification of the graphic right, you might be able to get an image that is lifesize.

Excel will connect the points with straight lines. Once you have lifesize plans, you can use a bent stick or French Curve to draw curved lines between those end points.
