Perfect! Shows my AutoCAD innocence – this solution is even better. Thanks guys.

Exactly. Use the pound symbol rather than turning dynamic input off and on

That’s because the coordinates you’re entering are relative to your selection. If you want to move relative to origin, just enter the number sign (#) before your coordinates. For example, entering #0,0,0 will place selection directly on origin and #6,0,0 will move selection 6 units right of origin, etc…

I don’t think 2002 has Dynamic Input – from what I’ve read it was introduced in AutoCAD 2006. Beyond that, if moving to the origin doesn’t work in 2002 then I can’t help you, sorry!

Do you know how to do the same thing in 2002lt? Both options you mentioned dont exist in 2002.
