Please refer to the following list for the formatting conventions used in this textbook.
Names of tools, buttons, options, groups,
tabs, slide-down panels, and Ribbon are
written in boldface.
If you click on an item in a toolbar or a group of the Ribbon and a dashboard or dialog box
is invoked to create/edit an object or perform some action, then that item is termed as tool.
For example:
Line tool, Normal tool, Extrude tool
Fillet tool, Draft tool, Delete Segment tool
If you click on an item in a toolbar or a group of the Ribbon and a dialog box is invoked
wherein you can set the properties to create/edit an object, then that item is also termed as
tool, refer to Figure 1.
For example:
To Create: Extrude tool, Sweep tool, Round tool
To Edit: Extend tool, Trim tool
xviii
Button
The item in a dialog box that has a 3D shape like a button is termed as Button. For example,
OK button, Cancel button, Apply button, and so on.
Dialog Box
The naming conventions for the components in a dialog box are mentioned in Figure 2.
Drop-down
A drop-down is one in which a set of common tools are grouped together for creating an
object. You can identify a drop-down with a down arrow on it. These drop-downs are given a
name based on the tools grouped in them. For example, Arc drop-down (refer to Figure 3),
Chamfer drop-down (refer to Figure 4), Draft drop-down (refer to Figure 5), and so on.
Preface

Drop-down List
A drop-down list is the one in which a set of options are grouped together. You can set various
parameters using these options. You can identify a drop-down list with a down arrow on it.
