Is it possible to change a block to a GDL-generated one when importing cad?

When importing dwg, if GDL is created with the name of a block or dynamic block in the dwg file, can it be imported as a GDL object at the time of import?
Should I make it an API?
This is a question because there are many things that can be done in archicad. ^^

Have a look at the translator settings.
This is from 22 (all I have open at the moment), but it will be similar in other versions.

How can I link the value of GDL parameter and the value of dwg?
Can I do it with dynamic block?
I don't think it will work, but just in case... ^^
You know archicad is beyond my imagination... ^^

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking.
I don't deal with importing a lot of DWG files, except for site surveys, so I never really deal with converting Autocad blocks to GDL objects.

Since the most important thing in GDL is to set parameter values to create various shapes, the question was whether there was a way to set these values in dwg.
In the case of a dynamic block, many aspects are the same as GDL.
(No, it must be close to how to create a family in Revit)
I was curious if it was possible, so I asked.

Can you give me an answer on this?
I wonder if it's just me.

As I said, I am not familiar with converting blocks to GDL objects, so I have no idea how the block settings translate to GDL parameters.
I did see you other post (I read all posts), but I don't have an answer for you.
If I think of anything, I will answer that post.

This seems like I did ctrl+c ctrl+v for Korean.
Looking forward to your understanding... ^^
(It's a Korean expression, but I don't know if it's the right translation.)
