AcDbEntity in Drawingdatabase or not

[Anonymous]

Hello, What is the easiest way to find out if a AcDbEntity is "managed" by Autocad or not. AcDbLine* pLine=new AcDbLine; //This I mean by "not managed by AutoCad" With "managed" I mean that you can see this AcDbLine on AutoCAD screen. For example when you put the AcDbLine to the AutoCAD Modellspace. (I need this to find possible memory leaks in my application) Thanks Mark

That way you don't have to worry about a leak the memory is freed when it goes out of scope... -- Best regards, Byron Blattel CADwerx--Applications for AutoCAD Autodesk Registered Developer Contact Info @ http://www.cadwerx.net Custom Programming Services - ObjectARX/C++/MFC/ASP/STL/ATL/ISAPI...

I was under the impression that this would cause problems. Have you done this before Byron?
