CATIA V5 100 mm grid macro for drawing views 1

Saw the above referenced thread that mentioned they had a start to a grid macro for CATIA V5 drafting. Is that still available? I'm looking to come up with a macro to accomplish this but don't want to start from scratch if I don't have to.

Why necessary with vb when it can be done very quickly with a 2Dcomponent in a catalog?

Hi, Fernando!

How do you propose to use 2D component (and what kind of component) to create grid?

 

[ferdo]

Hi Little

Glad to see you back here! A lot of peoples can learn from your answers, including me!!

I was thinking to 2D ditto

Thanks for the link.
I still don't get how you make a ditto resize and rebuild to match actual sheet size.
Do you propose to have a set of dittos for every sheet size?

 

[ferdo]

Yes, a set of dittos. It can be done in minutes. There are companies which are using only few sizes of sheets, not all of them.

had a tool that creates body lines in relation to your 3D file absolute axis system. It looks like the site is gone now. I have attached a copy of their tool, unfortunately its encrypted but it works. edit: I don't use this for business since I can't confirm the original developers terms of use.
