Can this tutorial help me?

I've found this great tutorial on iterative alignment which was posted on this forum, http://cmmquarterly.mbccmm.com/index.php/training/pc-dmis/30-alignments-how-to and I've read it 10 times, but I'm not sure how it can lend itself to my current sheet metal part.

This is a rough representation of the part in question. Iterative_example.pdf

I can't seem to wrap my head around how I can pick 3 vector points as per the tutorial vs the print showing 3 points on 2 planes, and that it is still Datum -A-. Is it really that simple? Does iterative do all the work?

So when doing an Iterative Alignment do you have to create features such as pln, lin, pnt or will just the points work? And It looks like in the article you have to create two alignments, point alignment with Iterative, and feature alignment with the features...is this how you do it, and is it this way with both Manual and DCC?
