Printing a grid like it was an Infill

Sorry, I just don’t know what setting this is called, Or I would look it up.

I am printing a STL file of a grid. This is Not an Infill. Because I need an exact placement.

But my model doesn’t printing Like an Infill, with all lines one way, then the other way.

My Slices are printing in random cubes.

Is there a way to print as if it was an Infill? With overlaping lines?

Solution-ish and Suggestions to PrusaSlicer

I knew someone else had this problem if i searched long enough. Infact several people have had this problem for nearly a decade and no solutions. It has been posted on every slicer forum out there!!!  And no one had any ideas how to do this other than make your own gcode. Which isn't helpful!

The best Solution-ish: Davo jan 7 2019 for Cura (3dprinting.Stackexchange.com/questions/7891/printing-rectangular-grid)

Try slicing with 0 perimeters (so it's all infill).

For PrusaSlicer Users: Turn off Vertical Shells and Horizontal Shells.  (Important: Turn on Monotonic top/bottom and select Rectilinear before.) 100% infill! 

Its not exactly what I was hoping for but it beats the squares and takes half the time. 

Update to PrusaSlicer: maybe?

Is there a way to make a New Infill profile that trys to follow model geometry? Or In my case, I just want those zig zags to change directions. I don't need it to hop over lines. Even though that would be faster. Like the Grid Infill does. OR maybe a 100% Grid Infill that hops over lines but fills in all geometry space.
