IDLffDXF::PutEntity

Syntax | Arguments | Keywords | Version History

The IDLffDXF::PutEntity procedure method inserts an entity into the DXF object. The type of the entity is determined from the DXF_TYPE field of the entity structure. If DXF_TYPE is set to 0, the type is implied by the entity structure.


Note
Line3D entity types will be written as Line entities due to the obsolete status of Line3D. Polyline entities will be automatically converted to Lightweight Polylines where applicable.

Note
