Now, what we're going to look at this time is working with coordinates in our AutoCAD drawings. Now, obviously these grids do represent coordinates, but your coordinates can be much, much more accurate and you don't actually need grid and snap on to use them. So what we're going to do now is we're going to switch off grid and snap down here on the status bar.
