MKI_HatchCopyPointDataBlocks (Entity Creation) New in Version 2021.0

C++ Syntax

bool

MKI_HatchCopyPointDataBlocks(

 MKI_CONST_ENTITY_PTR f_pRefEntity );

Copies all point or info data blocks (no attributes, no texts, etc.) contained in 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.

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.
