Base Point or Displacement

Second point of displacement: Specify a point or press ENTER

If you specify two points, AutoCAD LT uses the first point as a base point and places a single copy relative to that base point. The two points you specify define a displacement to determine how far the selected objects are moved and in what direction.

If you press ENTER at the second point, the first point is interpreted as relative X, Y, Z displacement. In this case, the first point is usually entered at the keyboard.

Note: The @ symbol should not be entered as part of this displacement coordinate.

Multiple

Makes multiple copies using one COPY command. AutoCAD LT prompts for an insertion base point for the selection object.

Base point: Specify a point
Second point of displacement: Specify a point or press ENTER

If you specify a point, AutoCAD LT places a copy at that point relative to the base point. The Second point of displacement prompt is repeated, for placement of multiple copies of the object. If you press ENTER, the command ends.
