An Explanation of Rotation, Continued

The exact same procedure applies to the workpiece. The distance
between the two holes on the workpiece can be measured once
the original origin is translated to the smaller hole and the part
coordinate system is mathematically rotated 45°. Now both of
the holes lie along the new Y-axis and the distance can be
calculated automatically.
