Alignment to offset holes?

Stephen McMillan
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

  • Old thread, late to the party, but this should be handled via offset line, offsetting in the direction indicated by the drawing. If you were building a hard gage for something like this with pins, would the rotational datum have a slot parallel to the datum, offset by the single value that controls rotation, or would you slant it by the calculated angle?

    If both are basic you need to rotate by the trig'd angle. The line method will set one to basic and all error will be forced to the other. Slot would be parallel for the single value, "slanted" for 2 basics.
