Entities (File Format) Changed in Version 2021.0

An entity consists of a header, determining the entity's type and containing some entity-specific data, and a sequence of data blocks. Each data block itself consists of a header and a variable data section.

For basic structure of an entity see MKI_ENTITY_BASE.

The following entity types may exist in drawing, library and collection files:

Entity Type "Object"

Entity Type "Instance"

Entity Type "Block"

Entity Type "Clipping"

Entity Type "Mapping"

Entity Type "Drawing Reference"

Entity Type "Group" / "Position Number"

Entity Type "Hatching"

Entity Type "Extended Object"

Entity Type "End of List"
