Delete a block reference

[Speed_CAD]

Hi...

How I can delete block reference of database without using purge?

Thank you...

Block reference is the block that is inserted into a space, model paper.
Block definition is the block in the block collection. With either one, I
would assume you could use (entdel ename) or (vla-Delete blkobj). If you
get an error, then the block is inserted into the drawing, this would only
occur when trying to delete the block definition from the block collection.

Maybe (Vla-remove Collection 'Item)
What's wrong with (command "_purge" "b" blockname "") ?

Hi...

Yes, I know the method to delete an object from visual lisp. The problem is, with purge command it send a message in the command line and that I don't like it... And I don't like the PurgeAll method because it do a regen...

Then does it not work for you?

Yes... But later I delete the Block and purge. But I don't like to purge because the purge command show me a message in the command line. For example:

Deleting block "$D$".
1 block deleted.

Then delete the blocks definition from the collection.
(vla-Delete
(vla-Item
(vla-get-Blocks
(vla-get-ActiveDocument
(vlax-get-Acad-Object)
)
)
"$D$"
)
)

This will error if the block is inserted anywhere.
