retrieved fast and easily. |
chapter |
A chapter references other chapters
or families. It is a way of classifying the elements it refers to |
component |
A reference to an external document
or an entity such as a feature (e.g. PowerCopy), V4 documents (e.g. models)
or V5 documents (e.g. CATPart, CATProduct, etc.) described with keyword
values |

design table |
A feature created in Version 5
either from the current parameter values of your document or from external
data. This feature facilitates the definition and management of mechanical
parts by enabling you to regroup in the form of a table, in a .xls or .txt
file, the various sets of parameter values that can be assigned to a part.
Each set of parameter values is called a configuration. |
document |
A common unit of data (typically a
file) used in user tasks and exchanged between users. When saved on disk, a
document is given a unique filename by which it can be retrieved. |
