Hi,

I'm working with 2D drawings, usually different kind of flanges, what are then manually made on milling machine or similar.

Problem is, that usually milling machines are equipped with DRO systems that gives coordinates of your tool, and when you have manually measured one place, you can easily locate next ones using that first hole as zero point and drill/machine rest with out needing to measure each place individually.

What I would want do, is somehow in the drawing select place for zero (0,0) and then like dimension tool, select item on drawing, and it would give x and y coordinates relatively to that manually placed zero.

I can do this by using dimensions tool, but need to use twice per each placement and picture comes unreadable for machinist, when you have 10 holes to drill on 100mm x 100mm plate.
