Random point technique
RANDOM POINT TECHNIQUE
Random point technique can be start by click the mouse at any
point (set as reference point). Then, move the cursor in the
desired direction from a reference point and Enter.
Or enter the distance from the reference point to define the
relative coordinate.
For example, specify a point that is 4 units to the right and 3 units
up from a reference point, it would:
Move the cursor to the right. Enter "4" to specify the distance in
the horizontal direction.
And then, up from the reference point enter "3" to specify the
distance in the vertical direction.
By combining it with Ortho mode, which restricts cursor movement
to horizontal or vertical directions, it can further streamline the
process.
