Object 45 "Construction Aid Endless Line" (Entity Type "Object") Changed in Version 2021.0

www.CAD6.com

The line is endless in both directions, i.e. it starts at one end of the coordinate range and ends at the other end.

Construction Aid objects will usually not be output to printer or clipboard. An endless line is by definition an "open" object, i.e. it has a non-closed outline and cannot be filled.

Data Block Sequence

Data Block 001( Start )

Data Block 002( End )

Parameters

Start

[MKI_POINT] First point on the endless line.

End

[MKI_POINT] Second point on the endless line.

Attributes New in Version 2021.0

A Construction Aid endless line 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.
