93.1 Introduction

As described in Section 2.4.2, “Tags”, Parasolid tags are used to identify Parasolid entities within a session. It can sometimes be useful to be able to refer to data contained within your application, rather than within Parasolid. You can create associations between Parasolid entities and application data in this way using appitems.

An appitem is a Parasolid item that contains one or more pointers that reference data in your application, rather than entities in the Parasolid session. Because an appitem is a Parasolid item, it has an associated tag that is unique within a Parasolid session. When an appitem is created, it is stored in the current partition.
