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 understand how to take my datum create an alignment etc, just can't figure out how to make it work online

Generally (and very simplified example) a program consists of

MANUAL ALIGNMENT
measured plane
measure line
measured point
Align command
DCC
CLEARANCE PLANE
DCC ALIGNMENT
measured plane
measured line
measured point
Alignment command
ACTUAL INSPECTION PROGRAM
Measured Feature
Dimension of Measured feature
Measured Feature
Dimension of Measured feature
Measured Feature
Dimension of Measured feature

This is only one dozens (if nto hundreds) of ways to write a program. Not only must you write it, but you must execute it on the machine. Do you recognize this structure?

As I said in another post, let's get the (paraphrased) "basic" stuff out of the way first. . . .

ps I tried to use spaces as indents to define the structure of the program, but they are removed when I actually post, so now I made the section headers in BOLD
