Hi Art
Thanks for posting that link.
It is very enlightening.
I have struggled with the accurate terminology of splines,lofting, conics, Nurbs, and Sub D.
It was of great benefit to me as it presented the terms in such a contextual format
Cad drawing programs could almost use it as a preamble to using the software, I'm sure it would help clarify the tool palettes and functions for beginners even more
