PROGRAMMING GUIDE
This section explains how to obtain data from the root-base entity or from the miscellaneous cascaded attributes.
HOOPS Exchange uses a parallel structure for representing attributes that apply to PRC entities that have a particular PRC entity base. Data that is specific to the entity is defined in A3DEntityNameData structures (for example the A3DAsmPartDefinitionData structure). These structures are used to create or parse the entity. Other data is defined in entities specific to the global or base types.
