RetVal
Variant (array of objects) The array of exploded objects.
Remarks
Depending on the type of compound object you're exploding, different results occur. Refer to the
EXPLODE command topic in the AutoCAD Command Reference for a detailed list of explodable objects and their results.
You do not have to explode a block in order to manipulate its constituent entities. All block definitions have an Item method that allow you to manipulate the entities within the block without exploding the block definition itself.
