Term
Aligned Dimensions
Definition
Linear dimensions that are parallel to the surface being dimensioned.
Term
Angular dimensions
Definition
Dimensions that are used to describe angles.
Term
Area Dimensions
Definition
Calculates the area and perimeter of the object defined.
Term
Baseline Dimensions
Definition
Continues a linear, angular, or ordinate dimension from the second extension line of the previous or selected dimension.
Term
Break
Definition
Erases part of an object or splits an object in two.
Term
Continuous Dimensions
Definition
Continues a linear, angular, or ordinate dimension from the second extension line of the previous or a selected dimension.
Term
Distance
Definition
Space between two entities.
Term
Explode
Definition
Breaks a Block, Polyline, or other compound object into its component parts.
Term
Linear Dimension
Definition
Creates linear (Vertical or Horizontal) dimensions.
Term
Locate Point
Definition
Locates objects in reference to the Cartesian Coordinate system.
Term
Ordinate Dimension
Definition
Creates ordinate point dimensions.
Term
Polygon
Definition
Creates an equalateral closed polyline.
Term
Polyline
Definition
creates two-dimensional polylines.
Term
Scale
Definition
Enlarges or reduces objects equally in the X,Y, and Z directions.
Term
Sketching
Definition
In the part ing, sketching entails using lines, polylines, circles, arcs, and rectangles. The sketch is the basic design element that defines the approximate size and shape of features in your part. Part precision is obtained by profiling, applying geometric constraints, and dimensioning.
Term
Tolerance
Definition
An allowance, given with a premissable range of the minimum and maximum, for the dimension of a manufactured object.
Term
Trim
Definition
Trims objects at a cutting edge defined by other objects.
