The method
pfcModel.AccessExternalData() prepares
Creo Parametric to read external data from the model file. It returns the
pfcExternalDataAccess object that is used to read and write data. This method should be called only once for any given model in session.
The method
pfcModel.TerminateExternalData() stops
Creo Parametric from accessing external data in a model. When you use this method all external data in the model is removed. Permanent removal occurs when the model is saved.
The method
pfcExternalDataAccess.IsValid() determines if the
pfcExternalDataAccess object can be used to read and write data.
