I found out about "From" by trial and error actually.
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.
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.
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.
