Callout
String of text connected to a line pointing to an object in a drawing.
Chamfer
The cutting off of an edge, at an angle, to get rid of its sharpness; a beveled edge.
Clipping Plane
The clipping plane is used to cut away at the model in the 3D view. It is just a visual aid and does not actually cut the model.
Clone
A copy of an object whereby the copy remains parametric. When the original object is changed the Clone(s) also change to show modifications made to the original object.
Coin
Also called Coin3D. Third-party software library used for 3D representation by FreeCAD.
COLLADA
An interchange file format for mesh models. File extension is *.dae.
Command
An action invoked from the GUI when you press a toolbar button or type a keyboard shortcut or type into the Python console.
Compound
Groups objects together without fusing them like a boolean union would.
CompSolid
Set of solids connected by their faces. CompSolids are needed in FEM, where more than one material is used in one FEM-mesh.
Constraint
A restriction on the geometric relationship between primitives in a Sketch. If a constraint has a numerical value, it is referred to as Datum (e.g., a distance constraint has a numerical value - the length of an imaginary line connecting the two points). A constraint that has no numerical value (e.g., a Horizontal constraint) is sometimes referred to as Geometric Constraint.
Constructive Solid Geometry
A solid modeling method for creating shapes by using boolean operations on primitives.
Coordinate
A number which defines the position of an object in space in reference to a coordinate system.
Coplanar
Existing on the same plane.
CSG
Short for Constructive Solid Geometry.
Cut
Applying a boolean difference between shapes.
