The Entity type exposes the following members.

Properties

	Name	Description
	Application	Gets the Application. Not currently implemented.
	Description	Gets or sets the Entity object's description.
	DisplayName	Gets the Entity object's display name.
	Document	Gets the Document. Not currently implemented.
	FingerPrint	Gets or sets FingerPrint of the Entity.
	FolderId	Gets the folder ObjectId of the Entity Returns ObjectId::Null if the Entity is located in root folder
	IsCWSReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing reference object. A Civil Worksharing reference object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is not editable. But it can be updated to the new version in the Shared Space.
	IsCWSSourceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a Civil Worksharing source object. A Civil Worksharing source object is a Civil object shared to Shared Space. It is editable and can be updated to Shared Space.
	IsPartialReferenceObject	Gets whether the surface is partial reference surface.
	IsReadOnlyReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a readonly reference object. A readonly reference object is either a data shortcut referece object or a Civil Worksharing reference object.
	IsReferencedSourceExisting	For reference object (IsReferenceObject == true), it will try to get its source entity while opening a drawing. This indicates whether the reference object has source entity.
	IsReferenceObject	Gets whether the Entity is a reference object. A reference object is located in another drawing, and linked using a data shortcut or Vault. If the entity is native to the current drawing this property returns false; if it is being referenced via data shortcuts or AutoCAD Vault it returns true.
	IsReferenceStale	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is stale.
	IsReferenceSubObject	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity is a reference subobject. For example, when iterating through the structure of a pipe network referenced from another drawing, this property is true for each entity.
	IsReferenceValid	For reference objects (IsReferenceObject == true), gets whether the Entity object's reference is valid.
	IsUsed	Gets whether the style is used by other objects in the current drawing.
	Name	Gets or sets the Entity object's name.
	ShowToolTip	Gets or sets whether to show tooltips for the Entity.
	StyleId	Gets or sets the Entity object's style Id. (Overrides Entity.StyleId)
	StyleName	Gets or sets the Entity object's style name.
