| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Drawing | A set of sheets that document a design using scaled 2D orthographic and isometric views, annotations, and tables to aid in manufacturing. |
| Browser | An organized view of the data in your design. You can control document settings, sheet settings, component suppression, and component visibility here. |
| Sheet | A 2D representation of a portion of a design, with annotations and tables, sized to print within a drawing set. |
| Title Block | A template of geometry and information that displays on each sheet in a drawing. |
| Border | A template that displays around the perimeter of each sheet in a drawing. |
| Drawing Template | Stores title blocks, borders, document settings, sheet settings, placeholder views, placeholder part lists, and text for use in future drawings to ensure consistency. |
| Document Settings | Drawing standard, unit, text, dimension, and line width settings for the current drawing. |
| Sheet Settings | Sheet size, title block, and border settings for the current sheet. |
| Drawing View | An object that displays a 2D projection of a 3D design. |
| Base View | A direct projection of the 3D design, viewed from a specific direction. The first drawing view that you place on a sheet. |
| Base View Placeholder | A base view that you place on a sheet in a drawing template. When you create a drawing from the drawing template, the base view placeholder automatically generates a base view of the referenced assembly in the new drawing. |
| Projected View | An orthographic view that is generated from the base view, another projected view, or a section view on the current sheet. |
| Projected View Placeholder | A projected view that you place on a sheet in a drawing template. When you create a drawing from the drawing template, the projected view placeholder automatically generates a projected view of the referenced assembly in the new drawing. |
| Section View | A drawing view that cuts through a design to reveal the inside. |
| Detail View | A drawing view that shows a portion of another drawing view at an enlarged scale. |
| Drawing Sketch | A group of custom non-associative geometry, manually drawn in the Sketch contextual environment within the Drawing workspace. |
| Parts List | A table that catalogs the components of a design, including item numbers, quantities, part numbers, names, descriptions, and materials. |
| Table Placeholder | A table that you place on a sheet in a drawing template. When you create a drawing from the drawing template, the table placeholder automatically generates a parts list for the referenced assembly in the new drawing. |
| Balloon | Identifies a component included in the parts list by labeling it on a sheet. |
| Bend Identifier | A leaderless note identifying a bend center line within a flat pattern for a sheet metal component. |
| From Design | Creates a drawing to document the current design. You can document the full assembly, visible components, or a set of components that you select in a new or existing drawing. |
| From Animation | Creates a drawing to document the current design. You can document the storyboard as an exploded view in a new or existing drawing. |
