Location referencing

Say I'm inserting, or copying a block, want it on a wall, base point 2 feet from the corner.

Right now I move the base point to the corner, then move the base point 2 feet up the wall, using running nearest snap and DDE.

Any way to do this in one move?

try entering FROM at the 'Specify insertion point' prompt

example to insert a block 2 units above a specified base point

Command: -INSERT
Enter block name or [?] <MH>: MH
Specify insertion point or [Basepoint/Scale/X/Y/Z/Rotate]: FROM
Base point: INT
of <Offset>: @0,2
