Delta Location From Coordinate

Dialog boxes where you can set location dependencies            Shared Dialog Box
Locates an entity at an offset distance from a Coordinate References. You can express the offset distance local to the coordinate reference, or global, expressed in the Origo Reference Frame.
 
For the option:
Do the following:
Coordinate Reference
Enter a hardpoint or construction frame from which the location offset will be applied.

Tips on Entering Object Names in Text Boxes.
Location
Specify the location offset from the coordinate reference, defined along the x-, y-, z-axis specified in Location in.

If the entity you are orienting is a construction frame, you can parameterize the location offset. You can, for example, use a parameter variable to define the location offset.

Example: (pvs_length), 0.0, 0.0
Location in
Select to offset either in a local or global reference frame:
■local - Specify only when the Coordinate Reference text box contains a construction frame.
■global - Specify when the Coordinate Reference text box contains either a construction frame or a hardpoint. Because hardpoints contain only location and no orientation information, if you select local when the Coordinate Reference contains a hardpoint, Location in will default to using the global reference frame.
