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

I realize I am using an older ver. of the software and maybe this is no longer available, but why wouldn't you just best fit the two holes rotate only, then translate x,y to your primary

A2 =ALIGNMENT/START,RECALL:A1, LIST= YES
ALIGNMENT/BF2D,ZPLUS,LEASTSQR,ROTONLY,0,0,0,0
SHOWALLINPUTS=YES,SHOWALLPARAMS=NO
ID = DOWEL1
ID = DOWEL2
ID =
ALIGNMENT/TRANS,XAXIS,DOWEL1
ALIGNMENT/TRANS,YAXIS,DOWEL1
ALIGNMENT/END
