Xlines inside block

[Yamma]

Sometimes there are blocks with contruction lines (xlines) inside them on my drawings. How can I find out on which block the lines are in? I can't select that block by clicking the xline, it doesn't activate. I want to remove those lines but can't refedit the block since I don't know where they belong...

I'm using acad 2004 and 2005 Mechanical.

I created several blocks within a large file and noticed xlines all over the place. These couldn't be selected nor deleted. Realizing it was part of one of the many blocks, I methodically started selecting blocks where those xlines would highlight as well (can begin with window select mode and drill down). One of the blocks had an xline in it somehow. Using Block Edit I could remove that xline. Hope this helps others. It was a bear in my file for a while.

Try this:

(defun c:rxl (/ b d l lo nl x)
 ;; RJP - 04.30.2018
 ;; Deletes xlines within block definitions
 (vlax-for a (vla-get-blocks (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
   (if	(= 0 (vlax-get a 'islayout))
     (vlax-for	b a
(if (and (vlax-write-enabled-p b) (= "AcDbXline" (vla-get-objectname b)))
  (vl-catch-all-apply 'vla-delete (list b))
)
     )
   )
