Synopsis

PDX_MSGT dxcr_GroupObject(long option, MDA_PTR orig_db_ptr, char *name, char *descr, int select_flag, int num_dbps, MDA_PTR **dbps, int num_soft, MDA_PTR **soft_back_dbps, int dxf_model, MDA_PTR *dxf_db_ptr)

Creates a DXF group entity in the specified model based on data provided. The data provided must result in a valid definition.

The orig_db_ptr argument should contain the database pointer of the entity that the new entity was created from (usually this should be obtained by the calling routine via mda_GetOrigDbptr) or MDA_NULL_PTR. See the mda_intro man page for more information about predecessor entities. If thickness is nonzero, the extruded form of the group will be created.
