AutoCAD offers the "From" feature that enables you to create a new object starting at a known distance and direction from an existing object. I have used it frequently to start a new line at a know distance relative to the end of an existing line. Is there a way to do this in IntelliCAD?

This is what I use:
(Defun trak ()
(setq a (getpoint "\nStart Point: "))
(getpoint a)
)
Create Trak.lsp, load it through Icad.lsp and call it during a command, from a menu like as in: !(trak).

New demo user here...but try using the ID command and select your required reference point using Esnaps.

Then use relative co-ordinates with your next command...@Xco-ord,Yco-ord in cartesian or @dist>angle in polar polar. This should start your next command such as line, circle centre etc. at the required point relative to your last ID point.

Hope this helps.

That's a good way, specially as it involves no customisation etc.

Paul, That is exactly the sort of trick I was looking for. Thanks very much. The ID command works like a champ.
