How to draw tracks on Excel

I'm amazed at how good tracks come out in Excel and I am kinda jealous, so I'd like to know if anyone is willing to help....please?

I'm thinking that you might be confused with MS Paint ?

I don't think so. Excel has some decent vector-line-drawing tools. I don't use them, though.

No what I meant was that he is looking at designs done with Paint that he perhaps thought was done using Excel...certainly I haven't seen any obvious Excel designs.

I'm not sure what you mean by confused because some of the Excel tracks I've seen recently were posted with the cells still in the background.

Yeah, that's what i was asking earlier. Where did you see those tracks?

(Plus: why would anyone bother using Excel to draw tracks??? It sounds like using Word for net browsing )

Interesting idea though, a set of coordinates in Excel that get charted into a circuit......

I had a go with doing this for some data I had found on the net for Laguna Seca, I ended up growing bored of the whole thing after a while, it was quite tricky. I did manage to recreate the Corkscrew before giving up though.
