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. |
