fit tolerance The setting for the maximum distance that a B-spline can pass for each of the
fit points that define it.
floating panel
A ribbon panel that is not attached to the rest of the ribbon or file window.
floating viewports See layout viewports.
font A character set, made up of letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and symbols of a
distinctive proportion and design.
footcandle The American unit of illuminance (symbol: fc). Lm/ft^2.
footcandle The American unit of illuminance (symbol: fc). Lm/ft^2
frame An individual, static image in an animated sequence. See also motion path.
freeze A setting that suppresses the display of objects on selected layers. Objects on frozen
layers are not displayed, regenerated, or plotted. Freezing layers shortens regenerating time.
See also thaw. (LAYER)
front faces Faces with their normals pointed outward.
general property Properties that are common between a selection of objects. These include
Color, Layer, Linetype, Linetype scale, Plot style, Lineweight, Hyperlink, and Thickness.
generic surface A 3D surface object with no control vertices, history, or analytic information.
Generic surfaces cannot be associative and they are created when associative analytic surfaces
are separated or by using the
BREP on page 272 command. See also procedural surface and
NURBS surface.
geographic elevation The relative height along the specified up-direction defined for a
geographic marker.
geographic marker Visual representation of geographic location information.
geometric constraint Rules that define the geometric relationships of objects (or points of
objects) elements and control how an object can change shape or size.
Geometric constraints are coincident, collinear, concentric, equal, fix, horizontal, parallel,
perpendicular, tangent, and vertical.
geometry All graphical objects such as lines, circles, arcs, polylines, and dimensions.
Nongraphical objects, such as linetypes, lineweights, text styles, and layers are not considered
geometry. See also named object.
