In the days of ASE/ASI, external connection information was held in a drawing and accessed using something called the Link Path. There were various classes and objects that defined such things, including an element called the Link Path Template, which I gather was the root of all the other Link Paths. I can't find any good information about the current way to access this data. Is it now done using the AcDbxxx classes/methods?
I have seen one reference that seems to indicate that this information is stored as XData in the drawing. Is that the case, and could I get at all of it using calls to the XData() function?
This whole issue of the Link Path data seems to be the primary stumbling block that is keeping me from making forward progress on updating this wretched ARX extension, so any help would be gratefully appreciated.
