Placing a centered circle sketch into exact dimensions from rectangle edge

Good evening all,

 

First time poster, F360 newbie and having my first go with creating a 3D model for a Samsung Monitor I have (LS27F350FHEXXY). I want to then use this as a base to create a container to house the monitor, a Raspberry Pi Zero, small speakers, powerbank holders and a camera to create a kiosk-like system for the volunteer organisation I work with. I'll then use Kafka to stream messages to the different stations via the RPi. 

 

But first I need to create a model of this Samsung and I'm getting stuck on quite a few areas, but thought I would post this first question here. 

 

I've created the base frame for the monitor and now want to place the screw holes for the mounting. I've measure the distance from the edges the first screw hole needs to go, but I can't figure out how to place the circle sketch at a set distance from a sketch edge. 

 

In the image below, I need place the circle 5.7 cm from the bottom and 28.1 from the left edge, but unsure how to do that or what the correct search term is to find resources online. 

I'm super keen to learn the software, so if someone can point me in the right direction, I'm happy to read, watch etc.. to learn the techniques.

Thanks in advance for the support and if this is in the wrong forum, please move to the correct and apologies for posting in the wrong area. 

 

Thanks!

Tim

No line needed! > Just create a circle and dimension its  position (center) to x & Y axis.
