To move an object using a displacement

  1. Click Modify menu Move.
  2. Select the object to move.
  3. Enter the displacement in the form of a Cartesian, polar, cylindrical, or spherical coordinate value. Do not include the @ sign, because a relative coordinate is assumed.
  4. At the prompt for the second point, press ENTER.

    The coordinate values are used as a relative displacement rather than the location of a base point. The selected objects are moved to a new location determined by the relative coordinate values you enter.
