Rules that govern the position, slope, tangency, dimensions, and relationships
among objects in a geometry.

continued dimension
A type of linear dimension that uses the second extension line origin of a
selected dimension as its first extension line origin, breaking one long
dimension into shorter segments that add up to the total measurement. Also
called chain dimension. (DIMCONTINUE)

and CVHIDE commands must be turned on to display and hide control frames.
control point
See control frame.
coordinate filters
Functions that extract individual X, Y, and Z coordinate values from different
points to create a new, composite point. Also called X,Y,Z point filters.
