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!

  • Thank you DAN_M and A-machine-insp!

    I was wondering is there a way to 'transform' the XYZ results of one alignment (carbody) to another alignment (local) by hand calculations? would you happen to have an example? sorry I know this can be done easily in PCDMIS but interested in learning how I can transform a few results without using software.

    Thanks


    if you have a physical blueprint...and you have NO software to help you...and you want to calculate the exact car body position of a particular item in an assembly relative to something else.....of course that could be done but you'd have to go old school with it and follow the blueprints and methodically do the trig to see where it ends up. Sorry I have no examples to provide you, have never had to do this before but know that it is definitely mathematically feasible
