DESCRIPTION

11       The  DXF  format  stores  modern  solid  geometry  as  SAT data for DXF
12       R2000–R2010 and as SAB data for DXF  R2013  and  later.   This  command
13       shows the content of this entities and also let you export the raw data
14       for further processing.

16   ENTITY VIEW
17       The entity view is a read-only text editor, it is  possible  to  select
18       and  copy parts of the text into the clipboard.  All ACIS content enti‐
19       ties get an id assigned automatically, this way the data is more  read‐
20       able, by default AutoCAD and BricsCAD do not use ids for ACIS entities.
21       The id is shown as decimal number in parenthesis after the entity name.
22       The ~ is a shortcut for a null-pointer.
