I'm trying to run a program, but I am having trouble with the manual alignment. After I do the manual alignment, the X and Z planes seem to align fine, but I'm having an issue with the Y plane. The triangles for the features line up fine on the X and Z planes on my model, but not the Y plane. That triangle is lined up at an angle, almost perpendicular to the plane. The part is set up with the A datum facing up, the B datum facing the front, and the C datum facing the left. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did not make this program, I'm only running it. Any help would be appreciated as I'm fairly new to this.
The Z is going up and down on my machine. I'm not doing anything after running the manual alignment. I just know its wrong because when it tries to take the hits for the DCC mode its way off. It doesn't recognize where the part is. Could it be because when the model was imported into PC-DMIS it was oriented the wrong way? What I mean is that If I orient the part in PC-DMIS the same way I'm placing it on the machine and before I do any of the alignment, it shows the x vector pointing up, the y vector pointing to the right, and the z vector pointing toward the back.

then you need to either 'manipulate' the model (transform, but not all industries allow that) or you need to F5 and set the machine/cad axis so the machine uses Z+ as X+, etc.
