Plotting Grid

(OP)
Hello All,

I am doing a plant layout and was asked if I could plot it with a grid. Of course I said yes knowing I could display a grid. Well it seems that grid won't plot. Any ideas short of drawing grid lines?

Thanks in advance.

Answered my own question. Drew a small circle on one corner of the layout and patterned the circle on the x and y axis.

RE: Plotting Grid

I don't know for sure, but plotting gridlines might be a system option or a printing option. I think I've seen a checkbox for it. If not, drawing gridlines is not that difficult if you use the Rectangular Arrsy command.
