Thanks for all the replies.
The new version apparently allows you to set the viewport grid separatley from he model space grid, cool, but it would be cooler if new viewports would automatically match the model space instead of some random default.
Also, why have grids specifically laid out in the viewport on a LAYOUT if you can't also print them?
I did manually draw my own and I have yet to get it to print. In addition, when my boss says quickly print this with an entirely new grid layout it would be cool to be able actually do it quickly!
I doubt I would ever need a radial grid, unless I go work in Antarctica, which is more doubtful. So I would just like to be able to use the built in grid.
The tears were because I had just spent hours trying to figure out why printing has changed and trying to get things to print right for the meeting this morning. This was at 7pm (I was meant to be home by 5pm). And I don't think you know how many grid lines and manual dashed lines I had to draw!
