"forced grid" in dxf format

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

You've got to find a better file compression program. 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.

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.
