Making a sketch following contours of a body creates lines..

When I make a sketch, following the contour of a body it creates a whole lot of purple points and lines where I do not draw anything. I assume this feature is some kind of automated thing to make tracing outlines easier as it seems to make lines in mirror to mine (still following the contour of the bodies I sketch of). This auto line feature, that have been popping up every now and then when making sketches is the most annoying feature of a software I have ever encountered, since there seem to be no way to choose if you want to use it or not, that I can find anyway. 

Is there a way to stop fusion 360 making assumptions like this? If I want to make lines in a place, I will make lines. The program has no idea on what I am actually trying to make so the assumptions it is making is based on nothing. This might be a useful feature for some type of designing I guess, but I prefer to have 100% control over where lines go, or when I want constraints etc.

Have you tried to uncheck the "Auto project" in the preferences?

Thanks a million. That solved it for me.
It is tricky to find things in options sometimes when you are not sure about what the wording would be.

Thanks again.
