NOTE You cannot use this method during dragging in commands such as MOVE
and COPY. Specifying an absolute coordinate, either by keyboard entry or with a
pointing device, cancels the FROM command.

MTP (Command Modifier)
Locates the midpoint between two points.
Command entry: At a prompt to locate a point, enter mtp
The midpoint between two points (MTP) command modifier can be used with
running object snaps or object snap overrides. (OSNAP (page 747) command)
At any Command prompt to locate a point, enter mtp or m2p.
First point of mid: Specify a point
Second point of mid: Specify a second point
TRACKING (Command Modifier)
Locates a point from a series of temporary points.
Command entry: At a prompt to locate a point, enter tracking
Tracking turns on Ortho mode and can be used with Snap mode.
At any prompt to locate a point, enter tracking, track, or tk.
First tracking point: Specify a location or distance
Next point (Press ENTER to end tracking): Specify a second location
or distance
Tracking specifies a series of temporary points, each offset from the previous
one. Thus, you specify a new point location from a series of directions and
distances. To determine the location of each temporary point, you can use
direct distance entry (page 1196). First move the cursor to specify the direction,
and then enter a numeric distance.
Alternatively, tracking can establish a new point by combining the X and Y
values of two specified points. You can specify these two points in any order,
depending on the cursor direction after the first point. Direct distance entry
