move command

[Anonymous]

Using autocad 2013. Trying to move a dwg point to a certain coordinate.  etc 5000,5000.  when i do so instead of moving the point to 5000, 5000 the values of 5000, 5000 are added to the existing coordinates before trying to move. anyone have any insight on what could be the problem, or a setting i can reset to allow me to move an object to whatever coordinate i need to.

                              thx pjd

It all depends on how you move an object or point.

If you issue the MOVE command, select the point or object and enter 5000,5000 it will use relative coordinates, e.g. the point or object will move relative to it's original location.

If you select the object or point so the grip is active, and now enter 5000,5000 it will use absolute cooridinates (e.g.relative to origin 0,0)

This sounds like the same issue -- absolute vs. relative, prefixed with # vs. @, F12, DYNMODE, etc. -- that has come up several times recently, for example here.

With the addition of dynamic input, Autodesk decided to rethink how coordinates were input.

You can have relative or absolute set as the default, and/or override with the # or @ character

This article explains it pretty good: http://ltunlimited.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/08/absolute-vs-rel.html
