Hi

I can measure distance but I would like to measure from a line to a point and find out the offset. 
Thanks

Select the line.  Then select “Explore Object (F3).  Select the point.  You’ll get a distance along the line (or station if it’s an alignment) and an offset.

The explore object is one good way, but you can use the "Measure Distance" as well. In all coordinate pick fields you can find various options in the right mouse click menu.
