lineweight
A width value that can be assigned to all graphical objects except TrueType
®
fonts and raster images.
LL84 coordinate system
Common latitude longitudinal-based coordinate system where latitude and
longitude are both measured from -90 to 90 degrees.
Longitude begins at 0 degrees at the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England
and is measured from -180 to 180.
Latitude is 0 degrees at the equator and is measured from -90 to 90.
main customization file
A writable CUIx file that defines most of the user interface elements (including
the pull-down menus and tool sets).
merge
In tables, an adjacent cell selection that has been combined into a single cell.
mirror
To create a new version of an existing object by reflecting it symmetrically
with respect to a prescribed line or plane. (MIRROR)
mode
A software setting or operating state.
model
A two- or three-dimensional representation of an object.
model space
One of the two primary spaces in which objects reside. Typically, a geometric
model is placed in a three-dimensional coordinate space called model space.
A final layout of specific views and annotations of this model is placed in
paper space. See also paper space. (MSPACE)
model viewports
A type of display that splits the drawing area into one or more adjacent
rectangular viewing areas. See also layout viewports, TILEMODE, and viewport.
