AutoCAD maintains items such as mline styles and group definitions as objects in dictionaries. The following sections describe the AutoCAD object group codes maintained in dictionaries; however, other applications are free to create and use their own dictionaries as they see fit. The prefix "ACAD_" is reserved for use by AutoCAD applications.
