Printing construction grids on layout drawings

Strawbale23

Hi all

 Im trying to set up some drawings that will print as part of a layout book, I would like those drawings to publish with the construction grid lines showing.

I know this is possible if you print directly from the drawing, but Im wondering if its possible to set up a drawing on a layout that will print the grids when published?

 

Thanks

If you create a Publisher Set that publishes a series of Views to a PDF for example, then you can select the items to be published, and in the Document Settings Dialog you will find the "Display Grid" checkbox, which I  think will achieve the output you are after.

However, if you try to publish a series of Layouts, the same publishing option will not be available.
