Attributes New in Version 2021.0

A marking may contain attribute data blocks (see MKI_BLOCK_ATTRIBUTE) of types "local", "outline", and "point". Their position in the list of data blocks must be as follows:

-	Outline attributes must be placed anywhere behind the marking of the respective outline. Any outline attribute after a marking data block M and before the next marking data block (or end of object) belongs to the outline degined by marking M.

-	Point attributes must be placed behind the respective marking. Any point attribute after marking data block P and before the next marking data block (or end of object) belongs to that marking P.

-	Local attributes should be placed behind all other datablocks and attributes.

The total number of attributes of each type (local, outline, point) per respective element (entity, outline, and marking) is limited to MKI_ATTRIBS_PER_OBJECT.
