New to CAD Models

Good Morning! I'm new to using CAD models. I only used them in class. I created a manual plane, line, point alignment to make the model aligned with the machine. The problem I'm having is when I change my alignment or workplane, my points are no longer aligned with my model. They are offset and mess up my dimensions. Do I need to continually redo the manual alignment to keep everything where it should be or am I missing something else? Thanks in advance!

Well White Rabbit my apologies I did not check to see your gender no offense meant but as it sounds like you did everything correct now but it is strange why you had this happen. I have only ever seen this happen when someone doesn't use the cad model but sounds like you did. sounds like since you didnt transform the cad model to be the same as the way that you are staging it then you should also use cad equals part after your dcc alignment then everything should snap to the model but when your doing your alignments you should make sure to rotate so that the trihedrant is normal to the machine axis

I took no offense, just clarifying I'm finishing up an emergency request today, but I should be back to this program by tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes, thanks!
