It's pretty easy to make an action to distribute a symbol of this mark in relation to the Artboard. If needed the action can even be configured to make the symbols objects and outlined.

One time with the right settings should be enough.

// select path
var b = app.selection[0].geometricBounds, 
items = app.activeDocument.pathItems;
var draw = function (x, y) {
  var l1 = items.add(), p1 = [[x-10, y], [x+10, y]];
  l1.setEntirePath(p1);
  l1.strokeWidth = 1;
  var l2 = items.add(), p2 = [[x, y-10], [x, y+10]];
  l2.setEntirePath(p2);
  l2.strokeWidth = 1;
}
draw(b[0], b[1]);
draw(b[2], b[1]);
draw(b[0], b[3]);
draw(b[2], b[3]);

thanks!!!

how can i set it to mm?

[femkeblanco]

Set what to mm?  Stroke weight?  If so, change the 1 in front of strokeWidth (lines 7 and 10) to 2.83465.
