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.....

  • When you probe pnt 4 and 5 are they on the Y plus side of the part or on the Y minus, is 4 to your left and 5 to the right? The line has a Y minus vector and then you align your X plus to that so you're 90 degrees of to start and then the negative vectorrotates your alignment 180, hence the minus values you're seeing.
