Alignment-rotate

I measured a line theoretically parallel to the X-axis but not at z=0 plane. I want to align X-axis paralell to this line but won't change the origin. So I used ROTATE XLUS around YPLUS. IT is not right.

When I did the initial alingment, I measured a cylinder, whose center line is Y-axis. So I used ROTAE YPLUS around ZPLUS. It seems right to me. What did I do wrong for the the above case?

Thanks, Matt.

I need to explaine a little bit more about my situation. I have a fixture (just two centers) to hold a cylinder part. I did my alignment of the fixture and it was no problem. When I load my part into the fixture, I have to make extra alingment as the part can rotate around the center. So here it is not a full blown alignment. So I measure a line along a flat surface. The line is theoretically parallel to X-axis. So that is where my original question came from.
