InfoCenter
A tool in the upper-right edge of the application window that
accepts keywords to search multiple sources and locations for
information at one time (for example, Help, the New Features
Workshop, web locations, and specified files).
instance
See
block reference
.
island
An enclosed area within a hatched area.
layer
A logical grouping of data that are like transparent acetate overlays
on a drawing. You can view layers individually or in combination.
(LAYER)
layout
The tabbed environment in which you create and design paper
space layout viewports to be plotted. Multiple layouts can be
created for each drawing.
layout viewports
Objects that are created in paper space that display views.

line width
See
lineweight
.
linetype
How a line or type of curve is displayed. For example, a continuous
line has a different linetype than a dashed line. Also called
line font
.
(LINETYPE)
lineweight
A width value that can be assigned to all graphical objects except
TrueType
®
fonts and raster images.
mirror
To create a new version of an existing object by reflecting it
symmetrically with respect to a prescribed line or plane. (MIRROR)
mode
A software setting or operating state.
model
A two- or three-dimensional representation of an object.
model viewports
A type of display that splits the drawing area into one or more
adjacent rectangular viewing areas.

layout viewports
and
viewport
. (VPORTS)
model space
One of the two primary spaces in which objects reside. Typically, a
geometric model is placed in a three-dimensional coordinate space
called model space. A final layout of specific views and annotations
of this model is placed in paper space.

(MSPACE)
named object
Describes the various types of nongraphical information, such as
styles and definitions, stored with a drawing. Named objects include
linetypes, layers, dimension styles, text styles, block definitions,
layouts, views, and viewport configurations. Named objects are
stored in definition (symbol) tables.
