dictremove the only way to delete a dictionary?

[Mike Hutchinson]

If I add my own dictionary for my application is
dictremove the only way to delete my dictionary.

is it possible to somehow link an xrecord to a graphic entity such that
if the entity gets deleted
the xrecord goes away as well? or does my application have to do the
deletion?

Yes.
Create an extension dictionary for the entity itself, and add the xrecord
to the extension dictionary.

If you call:

(vla-getextensiondictionary(vlax-ename->vla-object ename)))

on an entity without an extension dictionary, this will create one.

After that, add your xrecord just as you would add it to the named object
dictionary or a dictionary which is owned by the NOD.

Have you tried (entdel)?

Also, dictionary objects have a "delete" method, so you should be able to
do it via Active X, though I haven't tried it.
