I am using AC Lt 2008. I am neither an engineer or a draftsman. What I know about the product has been self taught, a real struggle at times. I am a hobby woodworker and like to draw my objects before I build them.
I have a drawing of an object whose overall dimensions is 36" x 6". I have Grid turned on and set at .5" for x and y. This drawing is made up of several splines. Of course I am unable to print this at full size as I only have an 8.5" x 11" printer.
I would like to print this showing an x any y grid at intervals that represent .5". I will then draw a similar grid on my wood. Then I will transfer the marks from the drawing to ther relative locations on the wood. When I have all these locations marked on the wood I will then connect them and this will be my pattern for cutting the wood to follow the drawing.
What I would like to know is how to have this grid print out on my drawing. I know I could draw lines connection all the Grid dots but I am wondering if there is not an easier way.
Thanks for your patience and help.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Draw a horizontal line at the lower part of your shapes and then use the ARRAY comand to replicate at the required spacing. Then do the same for a vertical line and make an array of it. As you enjoy self learning I'm sure you will enjoy learning about the use of thr ARRAY command. <smile>

It was a bit of a struggle but I got it. Thanks for the help.
