primary modeling planes, principal viewing planes, or datum planes - ANSWERSThe planes representing
the XY-, XZ-, and YZ-planes in a Cartesian coordinate system.
sketches - ANSWERSCollection of 2-D entities
sketching editor - ANSWERSA software tool used to create and
edit sketches.
Profile - ANSWERSA planar sketch that is used to create a solid
Extrusion - ANSWERSA solid that is bounded by the surfaces swept out in space by a planar profile as it is
pulled along a path perpendicular to the plane of the profile

geometric relationships
Dimensional Constraints - ANSWERSMeasurements used to control the size or position of entities in a
sketch.
Algebraic Constraints - ANSWERSConstraint that define the
value of a selected variable as the result of an algebraic expression containing other variables from the
