Suberase does not get called

[Anonymous]

Hi all ,

I have an object derived from AcDbObject having erase and suberase api's .So sometimes what is happening this suberase is not getting called upon 'explode' command .

This happens only in the case whnever AcDbObject derived object contains another object on it.

Any reply would be welcome.

Thanks

Can you please provide test sample ? To understand your query.

The EXPLODE command works with enties (AcDbEntity), not with AcDbObject.

It calls the virtual method  Acad::ErrorStatus AcDbEntity::explode(AcDbVoidPtrArray& entitySet) for the entity, which should be implemented to create 1..N "explosion fragments". If it succeeds the original entity is erased and replaced by the entities in entitySet.

Which mechanism will erase your AcDbObject? Are you sure that it is erased from the DB at all?

If you have nested objects, are you exploding all of them? You may need to EXPLODE more than once...
