Yes, actually this brings up a whole other entity that I'm missing:
coordinate systems. In acad circles are always drawn in the plane of a
particular UCS. I'm wondering if I should just give a vector attribute
to circles and arcs, or give every geometric entity a coordsys
attribute and have the coordinate system defined as a separate entity,
like layers. Listers?
