MKI_HatchCopyOutlineAttributes (Entity Creation) New in Version 2021.0

C++ Syntax

bool

MKI_HatchCopyOutlineAttributes(

 MKI_CONST_ENTITY_PTR f_pRefEntity,

 __int32 f_nOutlineIndex );

Copies all outline attribute data blocks (outline attributes) belonging to the outline f_nOutlineIndex of a reference entity (excluding the MKI_DB_END block) to a previously opened provisional dynamic hatching (see MKI_HatchOpen). They will be appended to already existing data blocks. No check for duplicate attribute names is performed.

Parameters

RefEntity

[MKI_CONST_ENTITY_PTR] Address of a reference entity 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 hatching would be too large after adding those data blocks.
