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
- At a prompt for a point, enter from.
Alternately, press Shift and right-click to display the object snap
menu, and then choose From.
- If you want to offset from a location
on an existing object, specify an object snap method. Then select
the object snap point.
- Enter a relative coordinate (i.e. @1,1).
