You can use the MOVE and COPY commands just like OFFSET. Type COPY or MOVE, then type in a distance such as 6". Pick a base point and move the mouse in the direction you want to move or copy and press return. This little trick also works with the LINE command. Pick a point to start from, type in your distance and before you press return, move the mouse in the direction you want the line drawn, then press return.
There are countless more tricks out there. If you have some you want to share, please do so in the disscusion area!
