Symbol Table and Dictionary Access
Accessing AutoCAD Groups
A dictionary is a container object, similar to the symbol tables in functions. Dictionary entries can be queried with the dictsearch and dictnext functions. Each dictionary entry consists of a text name key plus a hard ownership handle reference to the entry object. Dictionary entries may be removed by directly passing entry object names to the entdel function. The text name key uses the same syntax and valid characters as symbol table names.
