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.....

  • Don't worry about anything until you get this plane thing beat, you need a plane to "draw" the line on. We wanna see a plane with a +1 Z vector and 3 points with the right Z value before we go any further.


    The last code I posted up gave me a good plane. Dragging the Romer arm around and touching each of my 3 points on the casting I was getting around Z+.1, Z+.1, Z-2.45.

    Thanks a ton for looking at this tking. I appreciate the help.
