coincident grip Grip shared by multiple objects.
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.
command line A text area reserved for keyboard input, prompts, and
messages.
compass A visual aid that indicates the directions North, South, East, and
West in the current model.
constraint bar Displays the geometric constraints associated with objects or
with points on objects.
constraint point Point on an object that can be geometrically and/or
dimensionally constrained (for example, an endpoint or an insertion point).
constraints Form of parametric design.
Rules that govern the position, slope, tangency, dimensions, and relationships
among objects in a geometry.
construction plane See work plane.
contextual ribbon tab A ribbon tab that is displayed only when a particular
type of object or when a particular command is executed. For example,
selecting a hatch or table, or executing the mtext command brings up the
corresponding contextual menu.
continued dimension A type of linear dimension that uses the second
extension line origin of a selected dimension as its first extension line origin,
breaking one long dimension into shorter segments that add up to the total
measurement. Also called chain dimension. (DIMCONTINUE)
control frame A series of point locations used as a mechanism to control the
shape of a B-spline. These points are connected by a series of line segments
for visual clarity and to distinguish the control frame from fit points. The
CVSHOW and CVHIDE commands must be turned on to display and hide
control frames.
