pedrosousa6829 Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 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 Quote
rkent Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 It sounds like SNAP is on, turn that off (next to grid at the bottom of the screen, or F9, or SNAP at command line, off). Quote

I don't want to download yet another type of un-archiving program just to open the only *.rar file I've ever seen. The typical winzip program works for most everyone, and it comes standard with windows. Plus 1 on the snap off suggestion. Quote
Spaj Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Hi As rkent suspected you're SNAP (toggle with F9) and GRID (toggle with F7) is on. Quote

eldon Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 I opened up your dxf drawing, and the Snap and Grid settings were on. You should turn those settings off instead of setting the X and Y spacing to zero. Turning the Snap setting off allowed the crosshairs to move freely for me. Quote
