Cuts through walls

Let’s say I have an outlet on the other side of this wall that I want to locate on the blank side so that I can have the outlet in the same part of the wall. What is the easiest way to do that other than using the tape measure?

I would use inferencing and x-ray mode.

Or back edges, shortcut k, to see it on the other side.

BTW, when the wall has a sound insulation requirement, it is best not to place outlets facing each other.

Depending on the thickness of the wall and the depth of the electrical boxes, the two outlets (receptacles) might not fit back-to-back.
