from being changed. A CAD manager creates an enterprise CUxI file by
modifying a main CUIx file and then saving the file to the support location
defined in the Options dialog box, Files tab.
environment map A bitmap that is used to simulate reflections in materials
that have reflective properties. The map is “wrapped” around the scene and
any reflective object will show the appropriate portion of the map in the
reflective parts of its material.
expanded panel An area on the ribbon associated with a ribbon panel. An
expanded panel contains additional tools and controls. See also ribbon panel
and ribbon.
explode To disassemble a complex object, such as a block, dimension, solid,
or polyline, into simpler objects. In the case of a block, the block definition
is unchanged. The block reference is replaced by the components of the block.
See also block, block definition, and block reference. (EXPLODE)
exploded dimension Independent objects that have the appearance of a
dimension but are not associated with the dimensioned object or each other.
Controlled by the DIMASSOC system variable. See also associative dimension,
nonassociative dimension, and explode. (EXPLODE)
extended tooltips When hovered over the tooltip for a period of time, displays
additional information.
extents See drawing extents.
external reference (xref) A drawing file referenced by another drawing. (XREF)
feature control frame The tolerance that applies to specific features or
patterns of features. Feature control frames always contain at least a geometric
characteristic symbol to indicate the type of control and a tolerance value to
indicate the amount of acceptable variation.
fence A multisegmented line specified to select objects it passes through.
field A specialized text object set up to display data that may change during
the life cycle of the drawing. When the field is updated, the latest value of the
field is displayed. (FIELD)
fill A solid color covering an area bounded by lines or curves. (FILL)
filters See coordinate filters.
fit points Locations that a B-spline must pass through exactly or within a fit
tolerance. See also interpolation points and approximation points.
