I have a drawing, there are some PROXY objects. They are could not be deleted.
If you Explode them, they will be broken, but the original ones still remain.
And they could not to change layer, too.
Please see drawing attached.

Bricscad v15 was able to explode and delete. File attached

I believe another option to dumb down drawings is save as V12. Custom objects can't be translated to old format. Maybe also V14, but not sure.

Also sometimes a reactor is the problem, and I remove them with (vlr-remove-all)

danAllen,
- Yes, I saved as to DXF R12 and all PROXY has been removed.
- I have opened by AutoCAD 2022, ran (vlr-remove-all) but nothing change, I still cannot delete them.
Thank you.

I just saw this post on doslib and learned about a function: http://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=58114.msg613426#msg613426

Check out dos_proxyclean. Help manual says "Removes all of the of proxy objects from the current drawing. This is done by iterating through the entire drawing, and swapping all proxy entities for anonymous blocks. The blocks contain the equivalent geometry of the proxy entities."
