Local Alignment vs Carline Alignment

Hello
I was wondering if anybody had a good way of explaining local Alignment coordinate system in terms of automotives applications? Vs Carbody Alignment. Really difficult for me to fine clear easy to follow explaination

​​​​​​​Thank you!

  • I have no experience with automotive but it sounds like what I did in aerospace. If I'm correct, the local alignment would be an alignment of the part by it's self and the car body alignment would be part coordinates from the car as a whole.

    In aerospace, most of our parts had a trihedron on the part itself but some of them the trihedron was way off the part because the CAD was showing part location on the plane. We call the two sets of coordinates part coordinates and aircraft coordinates.

    I may be wrong in your case but it sounds like what you are describing.
