,

by using the Origin To Origin
method. Notice that none of the linked drawings are visible—you'll
adjust that in step 20.

then create your plan views. Each of these views will display only the
grids, not the linked drawing files.
20. In each of these views, adjust the visibility/graphics to override the view
