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
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.
