pickbox
The square cursor used to select an object in the drawing area.
plan view
A view orientation from a point on the positive
Z
axis toward the
origin (0,0,0). (PLAN)
pline
See
polyline
.
point
1. A location in three-dimensional space specified by
X
,
Y
, and
Z
coordinate values. 2. An object consisting of a single coordinate
location. (POINT)
pointing device
A device, such as a mouse or a digitizing puck, that can be used to
interact with the interface and create and edit drawing objects in
the drawing area. A pointing device usually has several buttons,
some of which may be customized to perform commands you
specify.
polar array
Objects copied around a specified center point a specified number
of times. (ARRAY)
PolarSnap
