Command Modifiers
You can use command modifiers to help you locate points or select objects while a command
is in progress. Use the Coordinate Filter, Direct Distance Entry, From, MTP, and Tracking
command modifiers at any prompt that requires point specification. Use the Selection Mode
command modifiers at any prompt that requires object selection.
