I have delete some element by CAD, but ezdxf still can read them, why?

[xinkun-mini]

here is a arrow at (7400,32784) with no elements else below

but using ezdxf api, I can still get a insert object at position (5000,5000) , but I have already remove it from CAD , and I can't see it too

so I want to know if a insert object is 'deleted', I wonder to know if there will be a state field

thanks for all!!

That's not enough information to give an answer, but you can check if an entity is alive by looking at the entity.is_alive property. From your screenshot I see that the dxf namespace is not None, so this INSERT entity is still alive. If you want to know why this entity still exists you'll have to ask your CAD vendor, ezdxf only shows what is stored in the DXF file.
