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

TK, what is your basis for your statement? And where is your angle? You're using an angle, but no angle is indicated. I'm very serious here, if I'm wrong I'll admit it again (I had to admit I was wrong when I was schooled on this topic many years ago and learned this method), that's why I'm asking for reasoning. What I've seen is that the rotation method is tribal knowledge, it's the method used by most programmers because they encountered it before they knew how to do an offset line, which many people still don't, and this is the method they figured out (me, many years ago), or they were trained that way by the same.

Where did you learn that this is the correct method?
