Need Help with Quick fixture, Cad of CMM Table, and part CAD

Question

So I saw on the forum that some CMM Programmers like to have a cad file of their cmm table in their programs to help with travel, rotation, and fixturing. I was able to make a cad file of my table in our cad software. Now though I am in way over my head when it comes to using the table cad, part cad, and quick fixturing. Is their anyone else who has been able to solve the issues that come from using these three different things. How do we use separate coordinate systems so they all move together, how do I align the coordinate systems, how do I move one without moving the others, is their a way to lock one or two in place while working on one. 
 
 Any help or advice is appreciated

Yup, all as one model, with the origin already in the proper location. By the time I left the machine shop we had mostly 100% cad for all CMM setups. The complicated parts included a tooling ball in the corner of the plate, all the operators had to do was load the part as show exactly on the screen, then hit go. The machine would navigate itself to where the tooling ball "should be" ask if it looked correct, then lower in Z, ask if it was good to go, then it would pick up the tooling ball and start the program.
