Add a point at specific distance from the end of line/poly/spl that was clicked on?

Hello.

Is there a command that would simply measure the entity from the end it was clicked on to the user specified length and add a point at that measurement?

Something like MEASURE command but with just one point.

Thank you.

Measure - one point.dwg

Look at the "FROM" object snap option.

Thank you for the reply.

I meant to say "like MEASURE command" not DIVIDE...

Anyhow "FROM" gets coordinate towards cursor, not along side of the entity.

I've updated my original post.

Using a lisp there is the VL command "getpointatdist"

(setvar "osmode" 0) ; turn off snap
(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "\nPick "))))
(setq pt (vlax-curve-getPointAtDist obj 100.0))

Note above uses start point so you need a check which end picked and then if required total length - distance from opposite end.
