- The example below is a typical database listing for an arc entity:
-
- Entity ARC Viewport SHEET

- Index 1025 (00000401) Type 4 Viewport 0 Layer 0 Depth 3
- Flags: visible OFF exclude OFF non-delete OFF IDENTS OFF hilite OFF
- Database size 84 Graphics data size 96

- MODIFIERS
-
- INDEX The INDEX modifier can be used to identify an entity by its
- index number. The index number - between 1 and 65535 - should
- follow the modifier.
-
- Index number 1 is the drawing itself. This can be verified
- to reveal any system parameters saved with the drawing.
-
- Index numbers 2 to 33 are the viewport entities. These can
- be examined to list text and dimension parameters etc. Index
- number 2 is the sheet viewport.
-
- Index numbers 34 to 1024 are reserved for future use. Actual
- entities only start at index 1025.
-
- HEADERONLY If the HEADERONLY modifier is used, then only the header data
- for each identified entity is listed.
-
- HEXDUMP The HEXDUMP modifier will cause database information to be
- listed in hexidecimal format.
-
- COUNT Count is used to produce a list of the number of each type
- of entity in the current drawing.
