Parameters

Options

[MKI_DIMLARGE] Distance dimension parameters.

Start

[MKI_POINT] Start point of the dimension and first measure point.

Direction

[MKI_POINT] Direction of the dimension.

Direction

[MKI_POINT] Dimension line position.

Point

[MKI_POINT] Additional measure point(s).

Update

[__int32] If zero, the dimension text in Value will be used instead of the calculated value. If this block does not exist, assume Value to be non-zero.

Prefix

[MKI_STRSHORTW] Prefix text for the dimension linked to the previous measure point. If this block does not exist, assume Prefix to be empty.

Value

[MKI_STRSHORTW] Dimension text for the dimension linked to the previous measure point. If this block does not exist, assume Value to be empty.

Postfix

[MKI_STRSHORTW] Postfix text for the dimension linked to the previous measure point. If this block does not exist, assume Postfix to be empty.

Tolerance1

[MKI_STRSHORTW] Upper tolerance text for the dimension linked to the previous measure point. If this block does not exist, assume Tolerance1 to be empty.

Tolerance2

[MKI_STRSHORTW] Lower tolerance text for the dimension linked to the previous measure point. If this block does not exist, assume Tolerance2 to be empty.

MKI_ExtFastInsert

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

MKI_BLOCK_ENUM b225( f_pExt ),

               b1( f_pExt );

b1.SetNext( b225 );

Followed by a loop running through all data blocks and copying them into an array.
