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

What does that actually do?

Using the offsets of 4 and 8, a trig calculation is done to determine the correct angle to rotate the alignment. PCDMIS calculates in radians, so that has to be converted to degrees (unless you are programming angles in radians, I suppose).

I use this as well, but with variables calculated before the alignment, and then placing the variable in the alignment rotation. It works well -
