Plane With One Offset Point

Good morning all. I'm actually a CNC mill programmer trying to learn our Romer arm with PC-DMIS 2016 with zero experience so hopefully someone can help me out. I did a search with no luck, so sorry if this has been asked before.
I have a part that I'm trying to do Quick Start > Create Alignment > Plane/Line/Point but I can't figure out how to have the orientation match the part. The problem is the plane has one of it's 3 points called out as -2.556" from the other two points, and the line has one of it's points called out as -.675".
If anyone can offer any help I'd appreciate it. And when I say I have zero experience I mean I just touched the program for the first time yesterday.....

So this came out close. The arrows are pointed the correct way, and my numbers seem to be the correct absolute value, but X numbers are showing negative instead of positive, and Y numbers are showing positive instead of negative. If I change "ALIGNMENT/ROTATE,XPLUS,TO,LIN1,ABOUT,ZPLUS" to "XNEGATIVE" the numbers come up correct, but the arrows are wrong.

Either way I can't run past A1 without an out of range alarm being generated, even though the live update of the arms position looks correct.
