ETABS 18.1.0

I am having an issue with snapping to "Grid Points" in the Architectural Layer when in Plan View (I have drawn the wall centrelines in AutoCAD). Instead of selecting the end of a line, it snaps to the origin point that the drawing is imported to.
In 3D view, I am still able to snap to the Grid Point.

I have replicated it on 2 PCs so far.
Is anyone else able to replicate this?
I am using ETABS v18.1.0
I was using a previous version, but updated when I encountered this issue.

In the image below, the mouse pointer is placed over the end of a line in the Arch Layer.

Solved.

It was the DirectX graphics driver. Turn it back to Standard Graphics and it all works.

I always use the Standard Graphics, the Direct X is terrible for some things and most of the time the Standard Graphics look better!

 
I have also suffered from this issue in ver18 so I returned back to ver17.
Much better and faster.
