Glossary
Auto-hide
A palette setting that causes palettes to hide automatically when the
cursor moves off of it and to open automatically when the cursor
moves onto its title bar.
baseline dimensions
Multiple dimensions measured from the same baseline. Also called
parallel dimensions
.
base point
1. In the context of editing grips, the grip that changes to a solid
color when selected to specify the focus of the subsequent editing
operation. 2. A point for relative distance and angle when copying,
moving, and rotating objects. 3. The insertion base point of the
current drawing. (BASE) 4. The insertion base point for a block
definition. (BLOCK)
block
A generic term for one or more objects that are combined to create
a single object. Commonly used for either block definition or block
reference.
See also
block definition
and
block reference.
(BLOCK)
block definition
The name, base point, and set of objects that are combined and
stored in the symbol table of a drawing.
See also
block
and
block
reference
.
block definition table
The nongraphical data area of a drawing file that stores block
definitions.
block instance
See
block reference
.
block reference
A compound object that is inserted in a drawing and displays the
data stored in a block definition. Also called
instance
.
See also
block
and
block definition
. (INSERT)
B-spline curve
A blended piecewise polynomial curve passing near a given set of
control points. (SPLINE)
BYBLOCK
A special object property used to specify that the object inherits the
color or linetype of any block containing it.
See also
BYLAYER
.
BYLAYER
A special object property used to specify that the object inherits the
color or linetype associated with its layer.
See also
BYBLOCK
.
command alias
A shortcut for a command. For example,
CP
is an alias for COPY, and
Z
is an alias for ZOOM. You define aliases in the PGP file.
command line
A text area reserved for keyboard input, prompts, and messages.
command window
A text area that displays the command line and a history of prompts
and messages.
continued dimension
A type of linear dimension that uses the second extension line origin
of a selected dimension as its first extension line origin, breaking one
long dimension into shorter segments that add up to the total
measurement. Also called
chain dimension
. (DIMCONTINUE)
crosshairs
A type of cursor consisting of two lines that intersect.
