I am beginning to attempt to program off a cad model. I have a sample part, every time I press cad=part my alignment moves off my cad model. I am actually trying to program off of cad on a part I have a sample for before I make a program off a part that I have no sample for.

So i used to use C=P all the time.
You don't need it.
Import your model.
Translate your model to match your machine coordinates or your drawing callout. (I like to put the coordinates somewhere I can easily eyeball and put my READPOINT at {0,0,0}
Create your READPOINT.
Create your alignment.
Done.
