In general, only the original authoring software format is capable of reading, editing, and interpreting Native CAD Data. (Examples: CREO, CATIA, Autodesk, SolidWorks, etc.) Generally Native CAD Data is the only format suitable to serve as Master Technical Data. Native CAD data may also serve as Authoritative Technical Data. (See MIL-STD-31000).

Product Definition Data: Denotes the totality of product definition elements required to completely define a product. Product Definition Data includes geometry, topology, relationships, tolerances, attributes, and features necessary to completely define a component part or an assembly of parts for the purpose of design, analysis, manufacture, test, and inspection. (See ASME Y14.41).
Product Definition Data Set: A collection of one or more data file(s) that discloses, directly or by reference, by means of presentation (e.g., graphic, or textual), representation (e.g., semantics or machine readable), or combinations of both, the physical or functional requirements of an item. (See ASME Y14.41)
Product Families: Products with multiple configurations, often called "part families" or "tabulated parts", are groups of products with common properties and features that differ across variations of a given product. Examples of common differences between product family members include variations in material, color, size of common geometry, inclusion/omission of simple features, and inclusion/omission of subcomponents. Product families consist of a parent and children, where the parent serves as the generic, and each child represents a configuration. All family members share the same ODA CAGE code, Dataset ID, and base PIN. For example, if a parent part with PIN: ABCDEF has two children: ABCDEF-1 and ABCDEF-2, ABCDEF is the generic, ABCDEF-1 and ABCDEF-2 are the configurations, and "ABCDEF" is the base PIN. Product Families is not the same as "Family of Products" defined in ASME Y14.100.

(See MIL-STD-31000).
TDP Level: One of three levels of detail that provide for a natural progression of a design from its inception to production: conceptual level, developmental level, and product level. (See MIL-STD-31000).

A vendor item control drawing provides an engineering description and acceptance criteria for commercial items or vendor-developed items that are procurable from a specialized segment of industry. (See ASME Y14.24)
Viewable CAD Data: CAD data which is derived from the native format and converted into a format which can be displayed by a widely available software and for purposes of defining design intent in a human readable format (e.g., 3Di PDF).
