Offline to online alignment frustrations

Hi all,
So basically I am new to the whole cmm industry but i have spent a great deal of time trying to figure this out. We just acquired an offline license for programming our parts. We have never done this before and I can not figure out how to get my offline alignment to match the machines coordinates. I know you will probably say this has been answered but trust me I have read almost everything and was wondering if someone could give me a DETAILED description on how to do this.
Thanks,
Kevin

I do know the basics (just the basics). I can write the entire program. All i can not figure out is how to get the offline alignment set up. From what i have gathered from the forum... I import my cad , use transform to position it right, the just offset the machine axis under f5? I dont know if this is correct though. Because when i go to put it online it usually goes to the middle of no where
