Notes:

When setting and getting current entity properties, the current entity is always set using VCFirstEntity, VCNextEntity, or VCSetCurrentEntity. By default these only traverse the drawing entities and not the symbol entities. VCSetEntitySection tells Visual CADD™ that each current entity selection to only select drawing entities and not entities in symbols. VCSetSymbolSection conversely only steps through entities in symbol definitions and not drawing entities.
