Enter second point	Specifies the destination for the entities: Pick a point in the drawing Enter x,y,z coordinates
Displacement	Specifies the displacement vector to move the entities; prompts you: Enter displacement vector <100,200,0> - (enter x,y,z coordinates to specify the displacement vector from the origin of the current UCS (user-defined coordinate system).) "Vector" is fancy term for distance and angle being specified at the same time.
Use base point as displacement	Uses the x,y,z coordinates of the base point (from the drawing origin of 0,0,0) as the displacement vector.
