bump map A map in which brightness values are translated into apparent
changes in the height of the surface of an object.
BYBLOCK A special object property used to specify that the object inherits
the color or linetype of any block containing it. See also BYLAYER.
BYLAYER A special object property used to specify that the object inherits
the color or linetype associated with its layer. See also BYBLOCK.
callout block A block used as symbol to reference another sheet. Callout
blocks have many industry-specific terms, such as reference tags, detail keys,
detail markers, and so on. See also label block.
camera Defines the current eye-level position in a 3D model. A camera has a
location XYZ coordinate, a target XYZ coordinate, and a field of view or lens
length, which determines the magnification or zoom factor.
camera target Defines the point you are viewing by specifying the coordinate
at the center of the view.
candela The SI unit of luminous intensity (perceived power emitted by a
light source in a particular direction) (Symbol: cd). Cd/Sr
category See view category.
cell The smallest available table selection.
cell boundary The four gridlines surrounding a table cell. An adjacent cell
selection can be surrounded with a cell boundary.
cell style A style that contains specific formatting for table cells.
circular external reference An externally referenced drawing (xref) that
references itself directly or indirectly. The xref that creates the circular
condition is ignored.
clipping planes The boundaries that define or clip the field of view.
CMYK For cyan, magenta, yellow, and key color. A system of defining colors by
specifying the percentages of cyan, magenta, yellow, and the key color, which
is typically black.
Color bleed scale Increases or decreases the saturation of the reflected color
from the material.
color map A table defining the intensity of red, green, and blue (RGB) for
each displayed color.
column A vertically adjacent table cell selection spanning the height of the
table. A single column is one cell in width.
