Overlay - dot every 5'?

Hi. I'm trying to create a overlay for a battle mat that looks like the equivalent of the grid overlay that's used to help with snapping\eyeball measuring, etc...which just has the dots every so far. I've tried using 'create a grid' but have been only able to create the squares out of dashes, etc... I'd just like a large dot at each corner. Any ideas?

    I had tried this with the built in grid and it does not do dashes.

    I ended up doing it by creating a symbol and a sheet specifically for handling this type of grid. I would place the small cross symbol on each edge of the square. Then when the sheet effects were turned on the sheet would have a transparency, and an inner glow effect to make the dots look less obvious. It worked well for what I was trying to do.

    Draw the thing that you'd like at the corners of your grid and then try the REPEAT command to make a rectangular array of those things at your desired spacing.
  • I'll give those both a shot. Thanks!
