Parameters

Obj

Entity for which to delete the dictionary

Parameters

Result[out] or Return Value

True if the dictionary is release and erased, false if not (see Remarks)

If the dictionary exists and is not empty, i.e., it contains one or more XRecords, then it is not released and erased. You must remove or erase all XRecords from the dictionary before you can release and erase the dictionary. See IDictionary::RemoveEntry and IXRecord::Erased.

To restore a released and erased dictionary for the specified entity, call IEntityHelper::CreateExtensionDictionary or IDictionary::Erased. If you close the drawing before restoring the released and erased dictionary, then that dictionary is deleted from the drawing and cannot be restored.

This method also returns true if the dictionary does not exist.
