Delete DXF Attributes from Entities

All DXF attributes of an entity are grouped in the namespace attribute dxf. You can delete a DXF attribute by the del operator:

line = msp.add_line((0, 0), (1, 0))
line.dxf.layer = "MyLayer"
del line.dxf.layer

assert line.dxf.layer == "0"  # the default layer for all entities

The del operator raises an DXFAttributeError if the attribute doesn’t exist or isn’t supported. The discard() method ignores these errors:

line.dxf.discard('text')  # doesn't raise an exception
