Method Summary


`pfcExternalDataClass_ptr`	`CreateClass (xrstring Name)`
	This method is enabled for Creo Direct. Creates a class in the model's external data.

`xbool`	`IsValid ()`
	This method is enabled for Creo Direct. Returns true if this object is still valid for this model, false if access has been terminated

`pfcExternalDataClasses_ptr`	`ListClasses ()`
	This method is enabled for Creo Direct. Lists all of the external data classes for the model

`void`	`LoadAll ()`
	This method is enabled for Creo Direct. Loads all of the model's external data into memory.

`void`	`ReleaseDataBuffer (pfcExternalData_ptr data)`
	This method is enabled for Creo Direct. Frees the memory allocated for data buffer.
