What is the process of making a change or correction to an object called?

The process of making a change or correction to an object is referred to as editing. In the context of design software like Autodesk Inventor, editing encompasses a wide range of activities that allow users to alter the properties, dimensions, and overall structure of a model or component. This can include updating dimensions, changing materials, or altering features to improve the design or correct errors.

While the terms modify, adjust, and transform could also imply some form of change, they do not encompass the full scope of actions typically associated with editing in a design environment. Modification often suggests a more specific alteration rather than the general broad actions included in editing. Adjustment usually refers to minor tweaks or refinements, and transformation implies a more significant change, potentially altering the fundamental nature of the object. Hence, editing is the most accurate term to describe the comprehensive process of changing or correcting an object in Autodesk Inventor.
