    <description>&lt;P&gt;Osnaps are a lot more powerful than I realized. Thanks for prompting me to go study them.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P class="p1"&gt;Just learning AutoCAD. I don’t understand how to move an object to be an exact displacement from another object. The attached file illustrates.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="p2"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="p1"&gt;I figured out I can Move Block 1 so the corners coincide and then Move it again the required displacement but isn’t there a way to do it in one step?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="p1"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P class="p1"&gt;(I'm running AutoCAD LT 2020 on a Mac but I thought this probably works the same in all editions to I'm posting to the AutoCAD forum. If that's not so, please tell me which forum to move this to. Thanks.)&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Check out the "From" osnap - that allows me to start my movement "from" another point. I'm not sure if that's in ACAD LT, but if it is, I think that's what you want&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>MAC forum is... well, see your other post that is in the wrong forum.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;Consider taking classes, explore Youtube videos, and buy a book on how to use AutoCAD, these forums are not the place for noobs with basic questions like yours.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;here is a quick tutorial to get you started &lt;A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=486MJhJPisM" target="_blank"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=486MJhJPisM&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;</description>

I grab my elements, pick my basepoint, Pick the "From" osnap from the menu that comes up with CTRL+RtClick, then select the point I want to start from and move from there. I was so happy when I noticed that option!&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;"From" with osnap works great. Think it solves&amp;nbsp;&lt;A href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/how-change-length-of-polyline-segment-to-an-exact-value/m-p/9220443#M1004279&amp;nbsp;too" target="_blank"&gt;https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/how-change-length-of-polyline-segment-to-an-exact-value/m-p/9220443#M1004279&amp;nbsp;too&lt;/A&gt;. Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I hadn't seen any mention of using "from" to specify displacements in the knowledgebase, Youtube tutorials&amp;nbsp; or the&amp;nbsp;&lt;SPAN style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Omura/Benton "Mastering AutoCAD 2019" book I'm studying and still can't find a description. Would you care to suggest other tutorial material I should be looking at? (How did you find out about "from"?)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I found out about "From" by trial and error actually.&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-right" image-alt="OsnapOptions.jpg" style="width: 169px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/711266iBB98E6C1D0E3651F/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="OsnapOptions.jpg" alt="OsnapOptions.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In the software that I normally use, I have a snap "origin" command that I can use to specify displacement from some known point. I was looking for the same sort of thing in AutoCAD, and I noticed the "From" option.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If I want to move a block to "5' over and 3' up" from the endpoint of a line, I can start the Move command and select my block, then pick my base point. I CTRL-RtClick to bring up the osnap menu, I choose From, then I choose Endpoint and I select the end of my line. Now I can use that heads-up display to key in my distance.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm very happy to have found this. I don't know where it might be in the documentation...Most of the time I live and die by the Help file, but sometimes I just try things to see what happens.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
