[WEEK TWO: REVIEW OF TERMS DRFT 120]
Line:
With LINE, you can create a series of contiguous line segments. Each segment is a line object that can be
edited separately.
Template:
A drawing template file provides consistency in the drawings that you create by maintaining your
standard styles and settings.
Model Space:
By default, you start working in a limitless drawing area called model space. In model space, you draw,
view, and edit your model.
Paper Space:
Use paper space for composing your drawing sheet and defining views.
Circle:
Creates a circle in several different ways. Center point: Draws a circle based on a center point and a
diameter or a radius. 3P (Three Points): Draws a circle based on three points on the circumference. Tan,
Tan, Tan: Creates a circle tangent to three objects. 2P (Two Points): Draws a circle based on two
endpoints of the diameter. TTR (Tangent, Tangent, Radius): Draws a circle with a specified radius
tangent to two objects.
Erase:
Removes objects from a drawing. Instead of selecting objects to erase, you can enter an option, such as
L to erase the last object drawn, P to erase the previous selection set, or ALL to erase all objects. You can
also enter ? to get a list of all options.
Ortho:
Constrains cursor movement to the horizontal or vertical direction
Object Snap:
Specifies a precise point at a location on an object
