Mounting part on setup tooling

2011 MR1, Romer 7525

I have been programming offline, using only the part model "floating in space", and creating a local coordinate system on the part. I want to bring models of knee blocks, 1-2-3 blocks, and other setup equipment in so I can program around real-world setups, allowing me to simulate datums, etc. I am finding the instructions in the Help screen very vague.

Can anybody give me (or point me to) a step-by-step tutorial on resting a part on a knee block in my Graphics Display Window?

[ Which is NOT the same as what I thought you were saying previously, that you secure the Datum Feature to the plate and then probe the OPPOSITE side of the part from the Datum Feature and use CAD nominals to Offset that to create the Datum. That is WRONG.

That's not what I suggested, Wes. Please re-read it, and give me an updated assessment
