no. we're using lines and text to create the grid - it's too complicated for the built in grid tool. the lines have big circles as arrows on the end and all is grouped and locked

Using the ID as the code means i don t need to zoom in to change a reference.
If the grid is regular then can set hotspots at the grid interval so only get a hotspot at grid intersections.

that's a great idea!
i've just taken all of our grids out of the project and created a solo file which i've saved as a 'dwg'.
this means i can x-ref it autocad styleand have it always available to send to consultants. also - nobody can ammend it without consciously opening the file to edit it.
having heard your 3D suggestion i have have opened the 'dwg' as an object and placed that into a 3D only layer. good tip - thanks.
