Aligning to a CAD model with a Romer Arm (New to CAD Models)

I'm new at using CAD models and am having trouble getting my measured features to line up with the CAD iges File I am importing. When I bring the CAD model in, it takes the origin of the CAD model to the origin of the Romer. When I measure the actual part, all my measurements are off in space in the initial alignment compared to the CAD model. After I do the first manual alignment, Plan/Line/Point, and level and rotate and origin what do I do next? I tried doing the CTRL+F4 and making a plane, line, and point on the part, then rehitting and aligning again. This just put my new features off to the side with the other. What am I doing wrong? Please help! lol.
