interface element A user interface object that can be customized, such as a
toolbar, pull-down menu, shortcut key, dockable window, and so on.
interpolation points Defining points that a B-spline passes through. See also
approximation points and fit points.
island An enclosed area within another enclosed area. Islands may be detected
as part of the process of creating hatches, polylines, and regions. (BHATCH,
BOUNDARY)
ISO For International Standards Organization. The organization that sets
international standards in all fields except electrical and electronics.
Headquarters are in Geneva, Switzerland.
isometric snap style A drafting option that aligns the cursor with two of three
isometric axes and displays grid, making 2D isometric drawings easier to create.
landing The portion of a leader object that acts as a pointer to the object
being called out. A landing can either be a straight line or a spline curve.
landing gap An optional space between a leader tail and the leader content.
layer A logical grouping of data that are like transparent acetate overlays on
a drawing. You can view layers individually or in combination. (LAYER)
layout The environment in which you create and design paper space layout
viewports to be plotted. Multiple layouts can be created for each drawing.
layout viewports Objects that are created in paper space that display views.
See also paper space. (VPORTS)
leader tail The portion of a leader line that is connected to the annotation.
limits See drawing limits.
line font See linetype.
linetype How a line or type of curve is displayed. For example, a continuous
line has a different linetype than a dashed line. Also called line font. (LINETYPE)
lineweight A width value that can be assigned to all graphical objects except
TrueType
®
fonts and raster images.
link To use object linking and embedding (OLE) to reference data in another
file. When data is linked, any changes to it in the source document are
automatically updated in any destination document. See also embed.
LL84 coordinate system Common latitude longitudinal-based coordinate
system where latitude and longitude are both measured from -90 to 90 degrees.
