explode

[killerxia]

Hi, all!
I have a block with a MTEXT entity in it, if I use AcDbEntity::explode() to explode it, the MTEXT is exploded into pieces of TEXTs, but if this is done by "explode" command in the editor, the MTEXT remains unchanged. Now I want to explode it by codes and to keep the MTEXT as a whole, how can I control the explode level?

Thanks, Xia.

I think you'll have to either use the EXPLODE
command (via acedCommand()) or else you'll have to write your own code to
deepclone the contents of the AcDbBlockTableRecord referenced by the
AcDbBlockReference.

Same holds true for objects in a block that have hyperlinks. I created an insert-and-explode jig that originally used explode(), but the hyperlink information was lost. Fortunately, acedCommand() works within the jig. However, there's this issue that also came up:
