How to move an entity to 0,0?

In Autocad I could move entities to 0,0 by just selecting the corner as basepoint (during move) and then typing 0,0, it was that simple. I cannot find a method in iCad other than 1st drawing a line from 0,0 to the corner of the entity, then snapping from/to those 2 points to move it to 0,0. How is this done? Thanks

Try the Move command
Select object, press enter
Pick From point (base point), press enter
Select To point (enter 0,0 at command line)
press enter

Try another way:
- turn of system variable
DYNMODE , setting value = 0

Thanks Quan, that works! Too bad I have to toggle off my dynmode for that to work but at least now I know a work-around.
Oops, sln's response also works.

That's how I was doing it, tried it again and now it works, bizarre, I literally did that 5 times before.
Thank you.
