Hi guys,
i'm newby. How can I move any 2d objects by using absolute cartesian coordinates?
If would like to move an object py picking a point to the place specifying absolute cartesian coordinates and not
the polar relative coordinates. Could anybody helm me! Please!

Not something I do often enough to remember but can't a user type the coordinates in at the command line separated by a comma?

Not when i try to move an object which already exist. It's no problem if you create a new line etc..  But you like to move an object, It's only able to specify the relative coordinates of an corner point. you always specify the shift vector and not the absolute coordinates of the target.

You can always move by displacement using a relative distance and direction.

Or you can use VBA to move objects along a vector.

In older versions, you could just enter the coordinates, and they were always considered absolute.  In newer versions, they default to relative coordinates, but you can make them absolute by preceding the entry with #.  See Help [here for 2016, also this].  Also look into the DYNPICOORDS and DYNMODE System Variables.
