You can use the publish command if you have each sheet on a separate layout, this is the way how it's meant to work by design (check also "page setups" in that case). If you have put all sheets on one layout you would need to select "by window" each sheet manually or you would need to wite a script to automate that. ...Or maybe, if you are lucky, you can find something that does that already in the app shop.

What you will need to do is create a seperate paper space for each "drawing." It might be helpful to name the tabs according to the contentent of the individual drawings as well.

open the layout and ZOOM WINDOW to each of the different drawings

Once you have done this for all your drawings go to batch pplot

From the batch plot dialog select only the drawings (now the new layouts you created) you wish to plot

and simply publish. If you need individual dwgs you can select multifile in the publish options dialog

once this is done creating what you needs is easy

They already explained it: try to follow the screenshots they posted and download the PDFs they posted in their reply.

this is fairly rudimentary, you may need to take in some tutorials to help you get along with the program.

first create a new tab

Next open that tab. double click the paper and change your viewport size. Next double click within the viewport and type zoom > window and select your drawing.

The previous posters have showed you the preferred way to setup a drawing for multiple plots. You have a single modelspace (not sheet) in which you layout multiple sheets. You can also setup multiple page setups in model space and publish the setups as part of a new sheet set. I estimate that it would take you about 10-15 seconds per sheet to setup and would not add an excessive number of layouts to your drawing. It is challenging to manage more than 20 layouts per drawing file. See screencast. If you were to create a template drawing with the grid as noted and setup a sheet set file for that template, any additional drawings would take much less time than the first setup.
