	Each ACIS class derived from ENTITY has a type. Each type is assigned a unique constant integer value associated with the class at compile time. No two type variables have the same value.
	The actual integer value of a type should never be directly referenced in code, since it may change. Instead, the type's name should be referenced. Types are named <CLASS>_TYPE.
	The following table lists the most common classes and type names:

Class	Type Name	Class	Type Name
BODY	BODY_TYPE	POINT	POINT_TYPE
LUMP	LUMP_TYPE	CURVE	CURVE_TYPE
WIRE	WIRE_TYPE	PCURVE	PCURVE_TYPE
