Does Datacad have a command like AutoCAD's point filters? In case a description is needed: The point filters I'm looking for are specifically .x and .y (for x,y and z directions). If you type .x then pick the line command, you can type in a distance (eg. 12') and the start of the line will move to 12' in the direction picked. It used to save me tons of time instead of drawing temporary lines. I've searched the forum and the manual but can't find anything like these filters. Please help!
Sounds like you are referring to reference point "'". Hit the ', select the point and then type in the distance you want from that point.
You can also do a Right-Click on the point and a sub menu will pop up, and you can then make a selection on Get X or Get Y, or.....
