   |
| absolute coordinates | Coordinates that specify a location in relation to the current coordinate system origin (0,0,0). | 
| aggregation | The collecting of features or sketches into a Part Design feature in the specification tree. | 
| associativity | The interdependent relationships between entities. | 
     B | 
   |
| body | See part body. | 
     C | 
   |
| chamfer | A cut through the thickness of the feature at an angle, giving a sloping edge. | 
| child | A status defining the genealogical relationship between a feature or element and another feature or element. For instance, a pad is the child of a sketch. See also parent. | 
| constraint | A geometric or dimension relation between two elements. These relations are restrictions for these elements. | 
     D | 
   |
| deactivate | To suppresses the behavior of a feature, visually and geometrically. | 
| draft angle | A feature provided with a face with an angle and a pulling direction. | 
     F | 
   |
| feature | A component of a part. For instance,fillets and drafts are features. | 
| fillet | A curved surface of a constant or variable radius that is 
     tangent to, and that joins  two surfaces. Together, these three surfaces form either an inside corner or an outside corner.  | 
   
     O | 
   |
| origin | The 3D point having the location 0,0,0 in any coordinate system. | 
     P | 
   |
| pad | A feature created by extruding a profile. | 
| parent | A status defining the genealogical relationship between a feature or element and another feature or element. For instance, a pad is the parent of a draft. | 
| part | A 3D entity obtained by combining different features. | 
| part body | A component of a part made of a combination of several features. From Version 5 Release 14, bodies and part bodies include shape design features. | 
| pattern | A set of similar features repeated in the same feature or part. | 
| A feature corresponding to an opening through a feature. The shape of the opening corresponds to the extrusion of a profile. | |
| profile | An open or closed shape including arcs and lines created by the profile command in the Sketcher workbench. | 
     S | 
   |
| shell | A hollowed out feature | 
| sketch | A set of geometric elements created in the Sketcher workbench. For instance, a sketch may include a profile, construction lines and points. | 
| solid body | A body created with application versions prior to Version 5 Release 14. Such a body contains no shape design features. |
