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)

I hope this to be a trivial doubt.

Thank you

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