Hi Cirilo,

Yes, it was intentionally coded this way. I guess it is a rare case when
a DXF shape lands exactly in the expected spot, so the user would have
to drag it anyway. It could be even harder if DXF appears in an area
containing other items, as it is tricky to pick the DXF lines exclusively.
