I am writing a macro that will potentially generate a large number of text entities in a drawing file. Later, the same entities might be revised, sme deleted or additional ones added to the gruoup, depending upon user intput. Does the choice to create new entities instead of revising old ones make any difference in the management of the drawing for Datacad? For instance, if I create 1,000 entities and later have change them and add anothe 100, does it make sense to select the old ones and change them rather than just deleting them and creating new ones? IF the old ones are still taking up active memory and or remain in the drawing file then creating new ones would bloat the file and slow down the program operations. Even if the database is consolidtated when closed, the data in memory while it is still open could be a problem in a large file, or with small available memroy on a user's machine.

David G or Devinder, can you shed some light on this?
