Different ways to group entities

    Hello all,

    I am kind of new to AutoCAD development. I am writing functions that
    place multiple entities at a time.

    I would like these entities to be grouped. So that the end user can move
    copy, etc and not have problems selecting these multiple entities.

    From what I know about AutoCAD, I only have two choices: blocks or
    groups. This alone is not bad, but it seems as though I will have to
    create a unique name each time the user uses one of my functions. A user
    may end up with hundreads of groups with unusual names. It just seems
    like I will end up with a sloppy mess of names. Can I somehow group
    things that are orphaned "no names", just "groups"?

    Or is there a customary way of doing this that I am not aware of?
