MKI_POINTMODE_* (Point Input Mode) Changed in Version 2023.0

Point input modes that can be combined with point types (see MKI_POINT_*). A bit-wise or combination of these flags:

MKI_POINTMODE_NO_GRID

While entering this point, any possibly active grid will not be effective.

MKI_POINTMODE_NO_SNAP

While entering this point, any possibly snapping mode will not be effective.

MKI_POINTMODE_EXT_SNAP

After entering this point, the plug-in will perform a custom snapping operation, so the serving application shall draw the snapping marks at the cross-hair during point entry. This implies MKI_POINTMODE_NO_SNAP.

MKI_POINTMODE_EXT_ID

After entering this point, the plug-in will perform a custom entity identification operation, so the serving application shall only draw the identification marks at the cross-hair during point entry.

MKI_POINTMODE_EXT_POINT Changed in Version 2018.0

In case of a standard point entry, after entering this point, the plug-in will perform a custom point identification operation, so the serving application shall only draw the identification marks at the cross-hair during point entry.

In case of a point identification, the plug-in's MKI_PlugInNotify procedure will be called for each identification step with the MKI_NOTIFY_EXT_POINT_IDENT option to perform the identification by itself.

MKI_POINTMODE_HOLLOW New in Version 2019.0

While entering this point, display of temporary data is active and may be switched to "hollow" mode by the user using the TAB key. This will only work if the plug-in uses MKI_InputFeedbackDisplay() to display the temporary data.

MKI_POINTMODE_NO_HIGHLIGHT New in Version 2023.0

While entering this point, highlighting shall not be active (regardless of the application settings).
