Unwritten revealing

Never before knew AutoCAD saved this info.. Please test as I'm still A2K..

 

Key "0" to get last point picked when asked by command
where to start.. which also includes: *ANY.point.on.screen.
Any other number [understood as 'from'] changes this
location as offset.from that <dist+angle> toward the current
mouse position. Another is to click on a live vertex, hit esc,
now that point is the saved/usable coord as mentioned.
Similar to the second point of command which is used as
'dist.from.lastpoint' toward mouse as you press 'enter'.
... Still learning so I'll contact here.
This is certainly useful once you add it to your mental
tools.of.trade.
  * ANY.point.on.screen also includes non.entity,bare loc.

BTW  this is also included without a command initialize, just

wish I new what/how to access that as with (getvar 'lastpoint)

Oops again. Didn't know '@' is the same - my bad. Still the offset

of it amazes me.
