Any quick way to draw a grid of 10cm squares to about 400x400 ? Wish I could just draw a table 40 rows by 40 columns.

Draw one, then use the pattern tool. It should do it in seconds. 🙂

If you are on the latest version, you can find it in the Transform menu, or simply in the side menu if you select what you want to create a pattern from.
