I guess you will find better answers in an Autodesk community. I have created my own tools with .NET to accomplish that.

 

 

A quick Google search shows me this: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-F0299B36-232F-446E-9F81-98F300B36991-htm.html

I have used FME at a customer before, in combination with .NET. Additional information on a certain autocad object coming from different databases was stored in the xdata using FME. But other parameters and values were created in .NET and stored in xdata as well. Like that, the xdata became concatenated string of key-value pairs.
