# StepData_FreeFormEntity Class Reference

A Free Form Entity allows to record any kind of STEP
parameters, in any way of typing
It is implemented with an array of fields
A Complex entity can be defined, as a chain of FreeFormEntity
(see Next and As)
.

`#include <StepData_FreeFormEntity.hxx>`

## Public Member Functions

Standard_EXPORT | StepData_FreeFormEntity ()
| Creates a FreeFormEntity, with no field, no type .
Standard_EXPORT void | SetStepType (const Standard_CString typenam)
| Sets the type of an entity For a complex one, the type of this member .
Standard_EXPORT Standard_CString | StepType () const
| Returns the recorded StepType For a complex one, the type of this member .
Standard_EXPORT void | SetNext (const Handle(StepData_FreeFormEntity)&next, const Standard_Boolean last=Standard_True)
| Sets a next member, in order to define or complete a Complex entity If <last> is True (D), this next will be set as last of list Else, it is inserted just as next of <me> If <next> is Null, Next is cleared .
Standard_EXPORT Handle_StepData_FreeFormEntity | Next () const
| Returns the next member of a Complex entity (remark : the last member has none) .
Standard_EXPORT Standard_Boolean | IsComplex () const
| Returns True if a FreeFormEntity is Complex (i.e. has Next) .
Standard_EXPORT Handle_StepData_FreeFormEntity | Typed (const Standard_CString typenam) const
| Returns the member of a FreeFormEntity of which the type name is given (exact match, no sub-type) .
Standard_EXPORT Handle_TColStd_HSequenceOfAsciiString | TypeList () const
| Returns the list of types (one type for a simple entity), as is (non reordered) .
Standard_EXPORT void | SetNbFields (const Standard_Integer nb)
| Sets a count of Fields, from scratch .
Standard_EXPORT Standard_Integer | NbFields () const
| Returns the count of fields .
Standard_EXPORT const StepData_Field & | Field (const Standard_Integer num) const
| Returns a field from its rank, for read-only use .
Standard_EXPORT StepData_Field & | CField (const Standard_Integer num)
| Returns a field from its rank, in order to modify it .
Standard_EXPORT const | Handle (Standard_Type)&DynamicType() const

## Static Public Member Functions

static Standard_EXPORT Standard_Boolean | Reorder (Handle(StepData_FreeFormEntity)&ent)
| Reorders a Complex entity if required, i.e. if member types are not in alphabetic order Returns False if nothing done (order was OK or simple entity), True plus modified <ent> if <ent> has been reordered .
