Alignment to offset holes?

Hi all. First post. Sorry if it's a rookie question.

I want to do a Plan-Circle-Circle alignment.
The first hole is the x0 y0 origin.
The second hole has some given coordinates, say x8.0, y4.0.

I don't want to have to calculate the angle and use the "Offset angle" in the "Rotate to" field.
I also don't want to use an iterative alignment.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

Make sure you level to the DCC plane before you create the offset line, otherwise you will be in machine coords when you create the offset line and when leveled to the plane, your alignment will be slightly off. Is there a position callout to the offset hole? If so what is the tolerance zone shape, diameter or parallel planes? This may dictate which basic you offset.

You can offset 4 or 8 or trig the angle and all will be correct. You should clarify with the Engineer before you proceed.
