Cad=part

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.

notice how i gave myself a decent sized prehit retract in the beginning. it's kinda hard to eyeball the center of a big diameter, but you can generally get pretty close.

also note my vector.
