I have had this problem on a couple of occasions now and I am hoping
someone can tell me what exactly is going on.  I have a map with several
layers, the majority being from a .dwg file containing base mapping
recieved from an outside source and one layer which was digitized in
house and added to that .dwg file.  When I try to edit and/or draw more
linework on any of these layers, my drawn linework "jumps" to another
area of the map and appears as a straight line even if I have drawn a
different shape or polygon.  I have seen this before in other cases
where I have tried to copy existing linework to another table or to the
cosmetic layer.  I suspect it has something to do with the coordinate
system, projection, or extent of the digitizing.  I am able to draw on
the cosmetic layer okay but at times even this becomes finicky.  Can
someone explain this so I may avoid it in the future?  Right now my map
has been converted from the .dwg file in the projection non-earth
meters.  Is this the problem?  Thanks in advance.
