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

    Which value is BASIC? the 8 or the 4? If they are both basic then your only choice is to solve the BASIC angle and align through both holes and rotate to the BASIC angle.
