Delete Objects
 
 
 

You can delete individual objects by using the Delete method.

NoteThe Collection objects in ActiveX Automation have a Delete method due to the manner in which these objects have been defined in the type library. However, the Collection objects, such as ModelSpace collection, Layers collection, and Dictionaries collection, should never be deleted. An error will result if you attempt to delete a collection.

Create and delete a polyline

This example creates a lightweight polyline, then deletes it.

Sub Ch4_DeletePolyline()

	' Create the polyline

	Dim lwpolyObj As AcadLWPolyline

	Dim vertices(0 To 5) As Double

	vertices(0) = 2: vertices(1) = 4

	vertices(2) = 4: vertices(3) = 2

	vertices(4) = 6: vertices(5) = 4

	Set lwpolyObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace. _

				 AddLightWeightPolyline(vertices)

	ZoomAll




' Erase the polyline




	lwpolyObj.Delete




	ThisDrawing.Regen acActiveViewport




End Sub
