Coordinate, a Relative Rectangular Coordinate,
a Relative Polar Coordinate, an Object Snap (Osnap), or by clicking the LEFT
mouse button on the screen.
*NOTE: The BASEPOINT can be either on an element in the
drawing or a coordinate in space. AutoCAD uses the BASEPOINT as the position
it moves the object/s from. It will move the object/s either the distance
you specify from this basepoint or place the BASEPOINT at a new position
you specify (the end of a line, coordinate point, etc).
If you have selected more than one item to move, these items with be moved
the same distance, but the relative distance/s and position/s of the items
to each other will remain the same.
--Prompt: Specify second point of displacement: Use a coordinate
(absolute, relative rectangular or relative polar) or an Osnap to indicate where
you want the item/s to be moved to. The object(s) will move to the new location.
