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

So i import my iges file. I create my plane a line then two points. I construct a point where i want it. Then create an alignment using the plane line and new point where i want my origin

Yes, that's a start, in programming the alignment.

A key factor here though, you also have to execute those commands on the machine, or it means nothing. . .
