Offsets for Hull Forms

In Nick's book he suggests plotting the hull form offsets using a spreadsheet program and then exporting the file to a CAD or drawing program for printing in full scale. I've plotted the points and graphed on Excel but had no luck in printing the output in full size. Has anyone had any luck with the method and what particular softwear did you use for plotting and for printing the output?
