REFERENCE feature in SCALE and ROTATE
Daily Autocad: "For those who use ROTATE and SCALE commands, I will explain a very important feature that exists in these commands. By using this feature, it will be possible to bring an entity to a specified angle, or to bring a line, which has unknown length, to a specified length. This feature is called REFERENCE. Now, let’s briefly explain this feature"

i found this one out last week drafting a groundplan. i've gotta say, combining this with a perpindicular osnap makes adding wall thicknesses and reveals to non-perpindicular to the UCS walls very easy.
Yeah, I started using reference a lot this summer when things needed to be scaled to fit just within something, or rotated to align with something else. Before I would have used the align command, but i like the rotate command better because I can mix copy in as well. Also, I noticed lately that I have found more and more reasons to use the offset command instead of moving and copying things. I was watching Kevin the other day draft, and he drew half of this item without ever leaving the offset command, it was pretty impressive.
