Numbers & Symbols |
|
| 2D component | An instance of a 2D element that is stored on a detail sheet. Also called ditto. |
A |
|
| absolute position | A sheet coordinates. |
| active view | A view in which all the modifications will be performed. For instance, all the 2D geometry and dressup elements that will be added to the draft views to be created. |
| angle dimension | A dimension applied to one or two linear elements or to circular elements. |
| area fill | A closed area on which you will then apply graphical dressup element called hatching pattern. |
B |
|
| background sheet | A sheet dedicated to frames and title blocks. |
| blanking | A blank added between the dimensioned element on the view and one extremity on the extension line. |
C |
|
| chained dimension | A dimension presentation mode made of a system. |
| chamfer | A bevelled corner between any types of curves: lines, splines, arcs and so forth. |
| chamfer dimension | A dimension applied to a chamfer. |
| corner | An arc tangent between lines, arcs, circles and any types of curves (consecutive or that intersect). |
D |
|
| datum feature | An element defining a contacting surface on a part. |
| datum target | An element defining a contacting surface on a part and represented by spherical or pointed locating pins. |
| detail sheet | A sheet that is used as an intermediate catalog for positioning 2D geometry elements that will be instantiated afterwards. |
| diameter dimension | A dimension representing either a radius or a diameter. |
| distance dimension | A dimension representing the dimension between two elements be they linear or circular type. |
| ditto | An instance of a 2D element that is stored on a detail sheet. Also called 2D component. |
| document | A common unit of data (typically a file) used in user tasks and exchanged between users. When saved on disk, a document is given a unique filename by which it can be retrieved. |
| drawing | The root feature. Sheets are aggregated in the drawing. Views are aggregated in the sheets. |
| drawing repository | A drawing document containing 2D re-usable components. |
| dress-up | A graphical attribute of a 2D element. |
F |
|
| funnel | A representation of the dimensions which allows inserting the dimension value between the dimension symbols. |
O |
|
| object | In the Drafting workbench, there are two kinds of object: activated and selected. The view frame of an activated object is displayed in red. |
| overrun | A part of a dimension corresponding to the extended extension line. |
P |
|
| part | A 3D entity obtained by combining different features in the Part Design workbench. |
R |
|
| radius dimension | A dimension applied to a circle, semi-circle or arc of a circle. |
| roughness symbol | A symbol that is used for defining a surface. |
S |
|
| sheet | A set of views. Several sheets may be created in the Drafting workbench. |
| standard | An international convention that is supported in the Drafting workbench: ANSI, ISO and JIS. |
T |
|
| template | In the Drafting workbench, an object that is included in the document (for example, the title block). |
| third angle | A projection method that allows projecting views from a part according to ISO/ANSI international standards. |
| title block | A frame which contains the title. |
V |
|
| view frame | A square or rectangular frame that contains the geometry and dimensions of the view. |
W |
|
| welding symbol | A symbol that is used for representing welds. |
