Dynamic and Annotative Gridlines

I'm looking for a faster way to grid up the drawings we receive from other services when trying to implement our own services. What's the best way to grid the drawings? There is often a grid already there but it is never annotative so looks huge when in paper space. We use different scales from 1:50, 1:75, 1:100 etc and want some sort of method in which we can do the design and the grid will automatically scale the bubbles to suit the scale in paperspace, as said we often have multiple views at different scales.

 

If anyone has a block or a method, please let me know as it will speed up productivity so much!

Are you looking for a way to automatically layout grid lines?
I have an annotative block for gridlines if you would like it.

If the object is being viewed by multiple different viewports with different scales, see below for a solution:

 

Let's say Object A is being viewed by two viewports with scales, 1/16" = 1'-0" and 3/32" = 1'-0", respectively. 

Then, make sure your Object A has the same scales:

On each viewport, make sure you have the "ANNOALLVISIBLE" turned off.

You need to understand about the basepoint as i mentioned here in this example. Try changing annotative scale . You can add more annotative scales as well. You can ask any question
