Entity View

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