Adding manual alignment to completed programs

Hello all,

The programmer before me made all of his programs by starting in DCC mode. foregoing the manual alignment and instead just adding notes on where to set the part on the grid plate in the exact same location every time.

Our small old CMM was decommissioned and both of our new CMM's are of a bigger size, throwing off his coordinates so his positioning's no longer work.

My question is, Could I add a manual alignment to the start of these old programs to snap the geometry into the location I desire? or would that actually make everything worse and I should look into other ways to convert these programs.

I know he has moved his programs from the old small machine to our newer machines but I am unable to ask him as he is no longer with the company.

Thank you,
