Catia users? Generate predefined shapes in drafting?

(OP)
Cannot say we have ever run into this task and hoping someone has an idea.

Basically we are designing a part that requires multiple pieces of sheet metal on it and as a quick guide for the fab shop, we would like to provide a simple layout of how the sheets should be arranged. The sheet sizes are basic 4ftx4ft and would like to simply create this shape and drop or drag it to the location that we want it and get it to snap to a corner or similar.

So far we have just been generating these manually with the line tools but it becomes a huge task if something needs changed. Surely there is a much better way?
