This structure contains a block line type definition that can be referenced by a line type definition.

Element Description

m_nBlockCount

[__int32] Number of segments used. Valid range: 0 <= Value <= MKI_LINEBLOCKPART_MAX. If this value is 0, no block will be drawn on the line.

m_nBlockMode

[__int32] Definition mode of the line type (see MKI_LINETYPE_*). Supported values are:

MKI_LINETYPE_STANDARD

MKI_LINETYPE_ABSOLUTE

MKI_LINETYPE_ROTATED

MKI_LINETYPE_SCALED

MKI_LINETYPE_FLAG_COLOR Renamed in Version 2021.2

MKI_LINETYPE_FLAG_WIDTH New in Version 2021.2

m_acBlockList Changed in Version 2013.0

[MKI_LINEBLOCKENTRY[]] List of segments (can a gap or a block instance).

MKD Syntax

A "block based" line type defines a sequence of blocks creating a periodical line type. Each block has a determined length along the line it is centered to.

Such a block based line type only occurs inside a standard line type definition.

10000,"Pattern","Type17"

This is the definition of a block based line type consisting of a single block "Type17" from library "Pattern" that is periodically repeated with a distance of 100 times the line’s width. The block is rotated according to the line’s orientation and is scaled relative to a line width of 1 mm.
