Question | Answer |
Fillet: | Connects two lines, arcs, or curves extending or trimming them to intersect or to join with a circular arc. |
Chamfer: | Connects two curves by extending or trimming them to intersect or to join with a beveled line. Chamfer works on convergent or intersecting lines. |
Mirror: | Creates a copy of the objects flipped over a specified axis on the construction plane. |
Split: | Splits one object with another, or a curve at a point. Split breaks the object where it intersects of the cutting object, but does not delete anything. |
Extend: | Extend lengthens an object to make it end precisely at its intersection with another object or you can lengthen an object when there is no intersection. |
Elevator mode: | Lets you pick points that are off the construction plane. Elevator mode requires two points to completely define the point. |
Object snaps: | Tools for selecting specific points on existing objects. |
Analysis commands: | Are used to find lengths, angles, areas, distances, volumes and centroid of solids. |
Circumscribed: | To draw a line around. |
Join: | Join unites curves that meet at a common end, making a single curve. Join can unite curves that do not touch, if you select them after the command has started. |
Scale: | Changes the size of existing objects without changing their shape. |
Array: | Use Array commands to make multiple copies of selected objects. |
Offset: | Offset creates an object parallel or concentric to another object. |
Perpendicular: | Standing at right angles to the plane of the horizon, meeting another line at a right angle. |
Viewports: | Displays different views of the model within the graphics area. |
Command line: | Lists commands you enter and information produced. |
Status bar: | Displays the coordinates of the pointer, the status of the model, options, and toggles. |
Flyout toolbar: | Sub-toolbar that includes options. Buttons that have flyout toolbars are marked with a small white triangle in the lower corner. |
Ortho: | Restricts the movement of the cursor to specific angles. Normal angle is 90 degrees. |
