My auto snap setting ARE ON. Here is screen shot (center points and points on entry are the only ones not on). I included my DWG QCAD PRO file so someone can tell me why this isn’t working correctly.
The lines or objects are snapping to the grid yet they aren’t aligned to what is on the drawing.
IN other words the drawing isn’t aligned to the grid and therefore when I add a new line, it doesn’t align or snap to existing, and instead it snaps to the grid, which isn’t in alignment with the drawing. I can free snap, yet then its alignment is very time consuming to get accurate.
Also when drawing a line vertically or horizontally it wants to snap to the grip and the end of the line or start at a grid point that don’t align with the existing drawing
