C++ Syntax

bool

MKI_EditIdentStart( void );

Starts a multi-entity identification by the plug-in, i.e. prepares for multiple objects to be identified subsequently.

Since all entities will be marked by means of a single flag, MKI_EditIdentFinish should be called as soon as possible to avoid any interference with the serving application or plug-ins that want to execute a multi-entity identification themselves.

Return Value

Returns true if the multi-entity identification is possible at the moment, otherwise false is returned.
