add grid to drawing

[pixlrXPY4X]

I have a large drawing I need to print out and stick to a sheet of plywood so I can cut it out with a jigsaw. The drawing is 60 x 40 inches  and I can only print on A4 sheets of paper.

My printer has a "poster" print option which will print out the drawing on about 25 sheets but how do I align them? Can I add a grid to a Fusion 360 2D drawing? If not, can I make the Fusion 360 design grid visible and bring that in when the 2D drawing is first created?

If none of these, is there a workaround?

thanks in advance

A much better option for you is the one I outlined in the attached Screencast.  There are two advantages to this method, one everything is built-in, you do not have to create a grid of any type and two, the printout is 100% unlike a printout from Fusion 360 using the Print option in the drawing environment.  Adobe Acrobat Reader DC is free, unless you use some of the higher functions which you do not need.  Here is a link to download it.

I am familiar with Adobe Acrobat Reader "poster" mode printing. However, my wooden board is too large to fit on an A0 drawing paper. 

I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLPSm-_d-vo&t=326s which address the problem but I still would like a grid for extra alignment security. 

Thanks for all the replies. I think I have enough to be going on with now.
