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!

  • In terms of doing this in the software (I know it's not what you asked for but it's worth mentioning).

    You need to start with a CAD model in Car/Aircraft Align.

    You can then either

    a) do an iterative alignment (this maintains car/aircraft alignment) and then origin locally on the actual part - you can then switch between them by recalling the local or iterative alignment

    or

    b) leave the model in aircraft align, but define features on the model for a local alignment, once locally aligned there's an option under F5 setup (force alignment in car body - or something like that I think) which will revert to aircraft/car body alignment.
