    Deleting Objects

    When you create an instance of an AcDbObject object with the intent of appending it to the database, use the AcDbObject::new() function. When an object is first created and has not yet been added to the database, you can delete it. However, once an object has been added to the database, you cannot delete it; AutoCAD manages the deletion of all database-resident objects.
