Specify a point
To point: Move
cursor in the desired direction and enter 5
With direct distance entry, you can quickly specify a point relative to the last point you entered. At any AutoCAD LT prompt for a point location, you first locate the cursor to specify the direction and then enter a numeric distance.
In this example above, the second point for the line will be located 5 units toward the direction of your cursor.The direct distance that you enter is measured along the path from the last point to the current location of the cursor.This feature is usually used with Ortho or Snap mode turned on.
