Hi Michael,

Is it possible to move or copy an object by certain distance from another object?
There is a nice feature in particular CAD application I miss a lot, when I want to move something by a distance for instance 10 from some other point, I go like this:

1. Select the object.
2. Start Move command and pick a point of reference on the selected object.
3. Hover the mouse over an edge or point of other object.
4. Type 10 and minus sign, selected object moves in that direction and it is 10 units away.

If I want to move the selected object on the other side of that point or the edge I type 10 and plus sign,

That's all.
Same for Copy.

I tried to type that in 'd' coordinate window, but it doesn't work.
