Hi everyone

I used a
vectorising program (vectormagic) and I get a dxf format file.

Now I am
trying to edit it with Autocad (2011) mas it seems to exist a kind of grid with
predefined dots and I can only start and finish a line in its intersections.

I already tried
the grid and ortho commands without success.

I am new
with AutoCAD (I have plenty of experience with SolidWorks and Inventor).

this is the link to the dwg file (saved by AutoCAD. Tomorrow I can upload the original dxf file)
https://app.box.com/s/xn7dl5hbmk7a3ovgd5ip

I hope this
to be a trivial doubt.

Thank you

	Just switch on the Grid (F7) and Snap (F9) modes.
