Create Offset Hole from Hole
Summary: Be able to create a hole by offsetting it from another holeusing x-y coordinates
Description: Be able to create a hole from a hole using the hole feature.
How Used: It would be nice to be able to select a hole, and a line to determine direction and then provide an offset distance. Currently we have to create a sketch to get the 2nd hole. It's time consuming when you create 1 hole using the hole command with say 2 edges then you realize you need a 2nd hole. So now you either create an adaptive sketch to the first hole, or delete the 1st hole and recreate it using a sketch and place 2 hole center, or do a 2nd hole using the hole feature and edges, but then you have to calculate the distance to get the right distance for your hole to hole dimension.
