A new minimum zone method for straightness error analysis is proposed in this article. Based on the criteria for the minimum zone solution and strict rules for data exchange, a simple and rapid algorithm, called the control line rotation scheme, is developed for the straightness analysis of planar lines. Extended works on the error analysis of spatial lines by the least parallelepiped enclosure are also described. Some examples are given in terms of the minimum zone and least-squares. Finally, this easy-to-use method is illustrated by an example that demonstrates that, for a planar line, the minimum zone solution can even be found without the use of a computer.
