i cant use align because i dont know the exact match points before moving the object im just deciding when placing the object.. that adjustment takes my time actually move and rotate move again and rotate again until it fits

MOCORO would do what you have asked for and @imadHabash has also suggested the same. But if you want to do it more quick then try using grip edit. Select the grip of the object which would enable stretch, now press spacebar which would cycle through many option like move, rotate, scale mirror and then back to stretch. I use this all the time and I rarely use the commands like MOVE, ROTATE, SCALE and MIRROR 🙂. I also keep the grips within the blocks enabled by setting "GRIPBLOCK" to "1" which makes it easier to use grip edit.

After you learn all the basics you might find that built-in commands are not so efficient for your specific workflow.

For that case, there are tools in AutoCAD that will allow you to make some customizations... your own commands... Here is a very simple example of using one of those tools - LISP.

See the command HERE while using it.

And here's the code.

(defun c:MoveRotate ( / ss)
  (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L"))
    (progn
      (command-s "_.move" ss "")
      (command-s "_.rotate" ss "" (getvar 'lastpoint))))
  (princ)
  )
