Using .x, .y, .z to stretch, move, etc.

SmokyRick Crawford's Photo SmokyRick Crawford 05 Jan 2018

How do I use an existing point to stretch my items? (or create, etc.) In Autocad, I would have used .x or .y or .z in the middle of the command to tell it where I want it to go. I don't seem to be able to do that here, is there some other way to go about this? I would have told Autocad that I want to move a box, (or whatever) from it's origin point to a point that would match with this existing x point and that existing y,z points. I have used Autocad since 1985 and have no idea what i should be doing instead. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance for any help or instruction.

Hello,
nanoCAD displays command queries in command line, for example for MOVE command:
M,MOVE - Move
1 found
Select objects or [?/]:
Specify base point or [Displacement/]: 0,0
Specify second point or <use first point as displacement>: 33,14
