I have been trying to move a rectangle a specific distance along a line. I have tried the "Cut with Reference" command, can pick the reference point to move from however when I hit " CTL V" to place it asks for a location. I have tried, on the command line, "@ distance < degree, and nothing happens.
What is the proper sequence to choose an object, the point you want to move it from, and tell the program where to move it too?

Re: How to move an object a specific distance
Assuming you will move the rectangle along an angled line and your "Auto Snap settings" include "Snap to Entity"
Select rectangle,
launch "Move/Copy,
select Reference point,
launch the "Restrict Angle or Length" tool,
set distance in the option bar,
Move your Mouse pointer along the line and click to confirm.
Note: If you set the distance e.g. to 5 it will snap to distances like 5, 10 15, 20 etc. etc.
