Direct Distance Entry (Command Modifier)
Locates the next point at a specified distance in the direction of your cursor.
Offset from Temporary Reference Points
You can establish a temporary reference point as a base point for offsetting
subsequent points.
The From command modifier establishes a temporary reference point as a
base point for offsetting subsequent points. The From method does not
constrain the cursor to orthogonal movement. The From method usually is
used in combination with object snaps.
To offset a point from a temporary reference point
1 At a prompt for a point, enter from. Alternately, press Shift and right-click
to display the object snap menu, and then choose From.
2 If you want to offset from a location on an existing object, specify an
object snap method. Then select the object snap point.
3 Enter a relative coordinate (i.e. @1,1).
