MKI_ENTITYENUM_* (Entity Enumeration Mode) New in Version 2023.0

This value indicates how an entity enumeration using MKI_ENTITY_ENUM shall work. It can be one of the following values:

MKI_ENTITYENUM_TOP

Enumerate all chosen entities and top-level roots. Standard use: Run through chosen entities without ALT; drawing; snapping.

MKI_ENTITYENUM_FLAGS

Enumerate all chosen entities and roots, plus all chosen leafs of non-chosen roots. Standard use: Application of a matrix operation.

MKI_ENTITYENUM_LEAFS

Enumerate all entities and leafs, but no roots. Standard use: Run through chosen with ALT, usually with no flag set.

MKI_ENTITYENUM_ROOTS

Enumarate all chosen objects, plus all roots that are chosen themselves and/or contain chosen leafs. Standard use: Creation of a duplicate.

MKI_ENTITYENUM_ALL

Enumerate all entities, all roots, all leafs of all roots. Standard use: Run through all entities, usually with no flag set.

Groups (which contain tree data that can be selected individually) are handled differently from all other types of entities (which can only be selected as a whole). A group consists of a "root" (the group itself) and its "leafs" (the list of contained entities).
