Object 16 "Ellipse Arc" (Entity Type "Object") Changed in Version 2021.0

www.CAD6.com

An ellipse arc is by definition an "open" object, i.e. it has a non-closed outline and cannot be filled.

Data Block Sequence

Data Block 003( Center )

Data Block 006( Vector1 )

Data Block 006( Vector2 )

Data Block 005( Angle1 )

Data Block 005( Angle2 )

Data Block 101( Orientation )

Parameters

Center

[MKI_POINT] Center point of the ellipse.

Vector1

[MKI_POINT] First vector of the ellipse.

Vector2

[MKI_POINT] Second vector of the ellipse.

Angle1

[MKI_POINT] Start angle of the ellipse arc.

Angle2

[MKI_POINT] End angle of the ellipse arc.

Orientation

[double] Direction of the arc. If Orientation >= 0, the arc is drawn counter-clockwise from the start angle to the end angle. If Orientation < 0, the arc is drawn clockwise.

Attributes New in Version 2021.0

An ellipse arc may contain attribute data blocks (see MKI_BLOCK_ATTRIBUTE) of types "local", "outline", and "point". Their position in the list of data blocks must be as follows:

-	Outline attributes must be placed anywhere behind the first point. Any outline attribute after the first point data block belongs to the outline.

-	Point attributes must be placed behind the respective point. Any point attribute after point data block P and before the next point data block (or end of object) belongs to that point P.

-	Local attributes should be placed behind all other datablocks and attributes.

The total number of attributes of each type (local, outline, point) per respective element (entity, outline, and point) is limited to MKI_ATTRIBS_PER_OBJECT.
