From
From: A command modifier that locates a base point and then allows you to locate an offset point from the base point.
From is a command modifier that locates a base point and then allows you to locate an offset point from that base point. It is similar to ID Point but differs in that From is used within a command; ID Point must be used before the command is activated. You use From at a prompt that asks you to locate a point, and it does not work unless a command is active to issue that prompt. Both From and ID Point are usually used in combination with Object Snap modifiers when locating the initial base point.
