erasing xdata in a Blockreference

[Anonymous]

Hello,

if I erase a AcDbBlockReference (with pBlockRef->erase()) that contains
Xdata , is the Data of the Xdata correctly removed from memory or do i have
to do some extra action for this ?

Thank you
Jörg

The erase() method doesn't remove anything from memory. All it does is
toggle a flag in the object that indicates whether or not the object is
erased.

Hello,

I asked the my question in a wrong way. What I mean is: If I want to delete
a Blockreference with xdata (similar to Acadcommand: _erase) can I do this
in the following usual way (minimal code without any errorchecking) ?:

acdbOpenObject(pObj,blkRefId,AcDb::kForWrite);
pObj->erase();
pObj->close();

or do I have to consider something because of the xdata ?

Regards Jörg

The xdata goes with the object, so if you erase the object (via AutoCAD
command or the erase() method), the object's xdata is part of that erase
operation. When the drawing is then saved, the object and its xdata will
not be saved.
