downloadable Visio file you can use to create your grid.

Download the File
Download a file you can use to create your grid courtesy of Maxwell Knight.
Using Visio 2000 (PC), Maxwell has created ALL the grids (4:3, TW1, TW2, TW3, FULL,
& HD) for the 40H80. I believe these are the same as the TW40X81.
Per Maxwell, "If you print these out on a plotter, you can overlay your acetate
sheets on them and simply trace the grids instead of having to mess with the precise
measuring."
