Hello everyone,,
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,
You are right, this is missing from the API. The original goal was to enable placing internal views, and those external files where you yourself write the converter (see ACAPI_Database (APIDb_StartDrawingDataID).
The solution depends on what the format of the external file is; what formats are you aiming for?
Best, Akos
