Dynamic coordinate grid in templates

Hi,

I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 and am curious to know how a template created in paper space can have easting and northing coordinates marked around the viewport border (say every 1 km in model space) and be dynamic (i.e. change) when panning or zooming.

Try the map3D command _MapLayoutReferenceSystem. It's in Map3D 2011 should be in 2012 as well. You may need to look at the help files and play around with it to get the feel, but it should do what you need.
