Sözlük
Belgelerimizde en çok geçen AutoCAD ve Plant 3D terimlerinin sade açıklamaları. AutoCAD'i her gün kullanıp da örneğin blok referansı ile blok tanımı arasındaki farkı hiç tam olarak bilmesi gerekmemiş olanlar için de işe yarar.
Asset (Plant3D)
A piece of plant equipment — a valve, pipe run, fitting or instrument — modeled as a Plant3D-specific object, not a plain block.
Asset class
The Plant3D category an asset belongs to — e.g. A_BallValve, A_Pipe — comparable to a block definition for ordinary blocks.
ATTSYNC
AutoCAD's built-in command for syncing block references to a redefined block's current attribute set.
Block attribute
A named, editable text field attached to a block — like a title block's "Drawing No." or "Revision" field.
Block definition
The reusable master symbol stored once in a drawing — the template every instance of it points back to.
Block reference
One placed instance of a block definition — what most people just call "a block" in a drawing.
CTB (Color-dependent plot style table)
A plot style file that maps each of AutoCAD's 255 colors to a print appearance (line weight, screening, color override).
DBText (single-line text)
AutoCAD's older, single-line text object — one line, one uniform style, no in-line formatting.
DWG
AutoCAD's native drawing file format: what a .dwg file holds, which versions exist and how to open one without AutoCAD.
DXF
A drawing exchange format that Autodesk documented openly, used to move drawings between CAD programs.
Dynamic block
A block definition with built-in parameters that let a single reference change shape, size or visibility state without being redefined.
Handle
A unique, permanent identifier AutoCAD assigns to every object in a drawing.
Layer
A named category used to group objects and control their color, linetype and visibility together.
Layout
A named paper space tab representing one printable sheet.
Model space
The full-scale drawing environment where the actual design geometry lives.
MText
Multiline, paragraph-style text with per-run formatting (bold, color, fonts mixed within one object).
Paper space
The layout environment used to compose a printable sheet from model space geometry.
Plant3D Project Database (ProcessPower.dcf)
The project-wide file (ProcessPower.dcf) where Plant3D stores UDA values and other data not kept on the drawing itself.
Tag (Plant3D)
The unique identifying label a Plant3D asset carries, e.g. a valve number — analogous to a name plate.
UDA (User-Defined Attribute)
A custom property Plant3D lets a project define for an asset class, beyond the built-in fields.
Viewport
A window on a paper space layout that shows a scaled view into model space.
Xref (External reference)
A drawing linked into another drawing by reference, rather than copied into it.
