Extended Object 0 "Star" (Entity Type "Extended Object")

The extended object "Star" is defined by the sample plug-in.

Creation of this extended object is usually not supported in CAD6starter and CAD6engine Eco (unless the sample plug-in has been installed)! If already created, it can be displayed and modified generally, but not modified parametrically.

Use code like the following to parse the data blocks of this entity in memory:

MKI_BLOCK_ENUM b1( f_pExt ),

               b2( f_pExt ),

               b3( f_pExt ),

               b4( f_pExt ),

               b1000( f_pExt );

b2.SetNext( b1 );

b3.SetNext( b2 );

b4.SetNext( b3 );

b1000.SetNext( b4 );

MKI_POINT cCenter  = b1.Point(0);

MKI_POINT cRadius1 = b2.Point(0);

MKI_POINT cRadius1 = b3.Point(0);

MKI_POINT cAngle   = b4.Point(0);
