5. Specify the slope from the first point by doing one of the following:
   • Enter a slope value.
   • Enter G, and then enter a gradient value, or enter S and then enter a slope value.
6. Specify the distance along the slope/gradient by doing one of the following:
   • Pick a point in the drawing.
   • Use Transparent commands to specify the point.
7. Specify the number of intermediate points from the start along the specified direction and distance.
