X,Y Coordinates in drawings

I need to create a drawing showing x,y coordinates of multiple holes in a plate. These holes are made on a cnc machine. The origin needs to be the center of the part so the programmer can write a program.

Is there a way to set up a dim style to give x,y coordinates for a particular point in a drawing?

Thank you

You can create a hole table or ordinate dimensions
and use pretty much whatever point you like as the origin.  There shouldn't
be any need to do anything special with styles unless you want to change the
dimension format.

Hi Randy

using a hole table as andrew says, I have done this a couple of times on my mill, it works really well and saves a load of time.
