Components
From DocR22
The following table lists all the components available for the ACIS products. For more information about a specific component, refer to the corresponding component documentation.
In the context of ACIS architecture, the term "component" relates to the library structure underlying a composite library. The significance of components has diminished significantly with recent releases of ACIS because of composite libraries. In the future, components will continue to be de-emphasized in both the interface and documentation.
