Using Tracking to Offset Points

To use tracking to specify a point

1. Start a command, such as the LINE command.
2. From the cursor menu, choose Tracking.

   Hold down SHIFT and right-click to access the cursor menu.
   

3. Specify a point.
4. Move the cursor directly up, down, left, or right until you see the rubber-band line. The direction of your movement affects the tracking direction. Notice that if you move the cursor from left to right, you must then move it directly over the last point specified in order to move it up or down.
5. Specify a second point.
6. Press ENTER to end tracking.

The start point of the line snaps to the imaginary intersection of the vertical and horizontal paths extending from the points you specified. The position is determined by the direction in which you moved the cursor after specifying the first point.
