  2. Geometric drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_drawing

    Geometric drawing consists of a set of processes for constructing geometric shapes and solving problems with the use of a ruler without graduation and the compass (drawing tool). [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Modernly, such studies can be done with the aid of software , which simulates the strokes performed by these instruments.

  3. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    Important theorems of screw theory include: the transfer principle proves that geometric calculations for points using vectors have parallel geometric calculations for lines obtained by replacing vectors with screws; [1] Chasles' theorem proves that any change between two rigid object poses can be performed by a single screw; Poinsot's theorem ...

  4. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_dimensioning_and...

    Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is a system for defining and communicating engineering tolerances via a symbolic language on engineering drawings and computer-generated 3D models that describes a physical object's nominal geometry and the permissible variation thereof. GD&T is used to define the nominal (theoretically perfect ...

  5. Straightedge and compass construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straightedge_and_compass...

    If we draw both circles, two new points are created at their intersections. Drawing lines between the two original points and one of these new points completes the construction of an equilateral triangle. Therefore, in any geometric problem we have an initial set of symbols (points and lines), an algorithm, and some results.

  6. Datum reference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datum_reference

    Technical drawing with references and geometric specifications. A datum reference or just datum (plural: datums [Note 1]) is some geometrically important part of an object—such as a point, line, plane, hole, set of holes, or pair of surfaces—that serves as a reference in defining the geometry of the object and (often) in measuring aspects of the actual geometry to assess how closely they ...

  8. Parallax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

    The motion of the Sun through space provides a longer baseline of the parallax triangle that will increase the accuracy of parallax measurements, known as secular parallax. For stars in the Milky Way disk, this corresponds to a mean baseline of 4 AU per year, while for halo stars the baseline is 40 AU per year. After several decades, the ...
