Access Methods
Menu: dbConnect ➤ Link Conversion
Because legacy links are stored in formats that differ significantly from
AutoCAD 2000 and later, the link conversion process requires that you specify
a mapping of the old AutoCAD SQL Extension
™
(ASE) link values to the new
ones used by AutoCAD 2000 and later. For example, you must identify the
environment used by a particular link in Release 14 and specify the
corresponding data source that you want substituted for this environment in
AutoCAD 2000 and later. Similar mappings must be established between all
old ASE link values and the new values that you want substituted for them.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Link Format

displayed depending on whether you select R12 or R13/R14.
R12
