value The specific numeric or textual information assigned to a Database Field. In the field "Price=$1,000", "$1,000" is the value. In the field "Name=Mr. Jones", "Mr. Jones" is the value. vertical dimension A linear dimension whose length is determined by points you select, but whose angle is restricted to vertical. view A specific rectangular area of a drawing. Views define what part of the current drawing is displayed or printed. See also active pane, extent view, page view, custom view, and marquee. Windows metafile A Windows-supported file format used for transferring graphics from one application to another as objects (i.e., lines, circles, polygons, etc.) rather than pixels. wizard An automated assistant that helps make performing specific tasks easy and trouble free. Each Wizard displays options and simple instructions then performs the appropriate actions based on your responses. working point A point not used in a draw or edit operation but required to construct one that is. world coordinates Coordinates that specify location in terms of real world distances. A point, for instance, that is 16 feet to the right of the origin and 25 feet below it has the world coordinates 16',-25'. wrap width A value that defines the width of a selected text entity. AutoSketch will automatically break a line of text and continue it on a new line as it reaches this width. x-axis An imaginary horizontal line through the drawing origin that serves as a reference for all horizontal distances in the drawing. See also drawing origin and y-axis. X-Axis lock modifier The lock modifier which restricts input to points aligned horizontally with the previous point. See also lock modifier. xy coordinates Coordinates that determine location in terms of an offset measured along the x- and y-axes. In AutoSketch, the term used to refer to Cartesian coordinates. xyz coordinates Coordinates that determine location in three-dimensional space measured along the x-, y-, and z-axes. See also isometric coordinates. y-axis An imaginary vertical line through the drawing origin that serves as a reference for all vertical distances in the drawing. See also drawing origin and x-axis. Y-Axis lock modifier The lock modifier which restricts input to points aligned vertically with the previous point. See also lock modifier. z-axis An imaginary line through an isometric drawing that represents a third dimension. See also drawing origin, y-axis and x-axis. zoom in To magnify a portion of the drawing. zoom out To shrink a portion of the drawing. Glossary | 377
