There is also data that is specific to the type of entity, such as the start and endpoints of a line, the diameter of a circle, and so on. In addition, you can add application-specific data to entities. Multiple applications can add data to the same entity. You can move or copy this data to other entities, and you can delete the data associated with a specific entity.
