I'm working with InRoads for Autocad and the labels that are created by
inroads are text with an Xdata ID that allows inroads to identify its labels
apart from other text. The problem is that I've copied some of this text
and changed it, but anytime that inroads deletes its labels, my copied text
gets deleted. Is there any way to strip an existing object of its xdata so
that I won't keep losing my text?

If you are using VB (VBA), you can use this method (Assuming the xdata
application name is called "InRoads")
Dim xData1(0) As Integer
Dim xdata2(0) As Variant
Dim Ent As AcadEntity
xData1(0) = 1001
xdata2(0) = "InRoads"
ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity Ent, p, "Select Object: "
Ent.SetXData xData1, xdata2
Even easier, there was (is) an Express tools that has a command called
"xdlist" (or something like that, I do not have it on my computer) that
allows you to view, add and detatch xdata without programming.
Hope this helps
