MUST KNOW: The COPYBASE command is very important to the AutoCAD Operator who works in disciplines such as mapping and architectural.

Change the layer of the line you just created to layer: Construction. Using the OFFSET command, offset the left line of the rectangle 1.5 inches to the right.

If an object has to be drawn that is similar to one that was previously drawn, simply copy it and change it. In AutoCAD, objects only have to be drawn once and then they can be used over and over again even if they are in a different drawing or at a different size or orientation. Using the MOVE and COPY commands are a big part of that productivity. One of the real benefits of using a CAD program is increasing your design and drawing productivity.
