Can native_file id property be updated via REST?

I want to use the REST api to attach a file to the native_file property of an object, for example a CAD Document. I can PATCH regular properties in and it takes it, but wont assign the native_file....

    No, nothing using the REST api to do this.  It can be done with a custom method, but I prefer not to use that if it can be done via the stock apis.

        The tag "native_file" works, but "[email protected]" does not. I was using the latter because that's exactly what the results from  GET looked like.

        Thanks.
