bool

MKI_ObjectAddCurve(

double f_dOrient,

double f_dCurve );

Adds an arc orientation and curvature data block (MKI_DB_ALL_CURVE) to a previously opened temporary object (see MKI_ObjectOpen). This type of data block is usually used inside objects of type MKI_OBJ_CURVE and MKI_OBJ_SURFACE to determine an arc's orientation (clockwise or counter-clockwise) and curvature (radius).

Parameters

Orient

[double] Orientation of the arc. Negative values indicate clockwise orientation, non-negative values indicate counter-clockwise direction. Valid range: MKI_COORD_MIN <= Value <= MKI_COORD_MAX.

Curve

[double] Curvature of the arc. For a detailed description of the curvature, see Object 12 "Surface". If the arc's center-point and end-points are known, the curvature can easily be calculated by means of MKI_CalcCurvature. Valid range: MKI_COORD_MIN <= Value <= MKI_COORD_MAX.

Return Value

Returns true if the data block was added successfully. If false is returned, this indicates that the object would be too large after adding this data block.
