Create a Drawing from a file?

How do you link a drawing to an external file? On ArchiCAD you just click on "an external source" -> click "Browse" -> choose the file. How do you do this with the API?

What are the requirements? Creating a drawing from a view is simply by copying the view's guid to drawing.drawingGuid and you're done, is it the same with a file? I've looked into API_DrawingLinkInfo but it seems there is only a "Get" function and no "Set".

Thanks.

Hi All,

I am also interested to know if there is anyway to set/relink an external file of a drawing using API.
I am using ArchiCAD 21.

Thanks,
Hoa
