I've recently had to use Base Alignment Match, wow what a mess.

There is not much info on what is going on for the 3d best fit. I know it is suggested to use circles, but I had a long part that did not have these. After much research I think I understand it, however it appears it requires any single points to be measured in the exact same location on the part. Also there is little information on when you select the features what they may be constraining, also the delta value is not incredibly helpful, what would be nice is an XYZ and uvw after the match. Also I think its possible to copy the cad and make it transparent /ghost to show how the algorithm is fitting in real time, like other software where for example you are fitting a point cloud mesh to the CAD, etc.

Yeah, I think the base alignment match needs to be replaced by a better process, or as you suggested provide more visibility to how it is matching.

Polyworks has a one of the more effective processes I've seen for matching point cloud meshes.
