MKI_ExtCopyNonAttribDataBlocks (Entity Creation) New in Version 2021.0

C++ Syntax

bool

MKI_ExtCopyNonAttribDataBlocks(

 MKI_CONST_ENTITY_PTR f_pRefEntity );

Copies all data blocks except for base attributes (global, local, outline, and point attributes) contained in a reference entity (excluding the MKI_DB_END block) to a previously opened provisional extended object (see MKI_ExtOpen). They will be appended to already existing data blocks.

Parameters

RefEntity

[MKI_CONST_ENTITY_PTR] Address of a reference object whose data blocks are to be copied.

Return Value

Returns true if all data blocks were copied and added successfully. If false is returned, this indicates that the extended object would be too large after adding those data blocks.
