TABLE OF CONTENTS The following table lists some of the properties or data elements that are defined at the document level. Not all of the properties are in this table.

Data ranges from file naming of the current drawing to collection linkages, allowing the programmer to dig deeper inside the drawing to get at information such as layer names, entity details, and block definitions.
