Accept that a linked feature is broken. This routine cannot be called
on unbroken linked features, and returns an error if this is attempted.
Once this routine has been called, the linked feature continues to be
accepted as broken until it is no longer broken at some later time;
when the feature becomes unbroken, its accepted-as-broken status
is automatically removed.

This routine gets the part file name for the broken link's source part, if it
is available.

A link may be broken either because the relation to the source geometry is severed (e.g. the source geometry
is deleted or the link becomes non-associative to the source geometry by hitting the "break link" icon") or
the link's context has changed. In the latter case, the source geometry information still exists. Therefore,
it can be returned provided that the source part is either fully or partially loaded in the session.

This function will return the source part for a broken link provided that (1) the break occurred only because
the link's context changed and (2) the source part is at least partially loaded. In all other other cases, no
source part is returned. The absence of this information is not an error.

Queries when a linked feature updates. For linked features which
update at a particular timestamp (update_at_timestamp set to true at

Returns arrays of the source geometry used by the linked feature and
the linked geometry created by it when given a linked feature. The
arrays are in the same order, so can be used to find the linked
geometry corresponding to specific source geometry, or vice versa.
n_map_items gives the total length of each array.
The arrays should both be freed afterwards with UF_free(). For
linked bodies, faces, mirrors and regions all the linked faces and edges
are mapped, except for any that no longer have associated geometry
in the linked feature. For features that create a sheet body, the linked
faces and all the edges joining or bounding them are mapped. The
arrays list all the faces first and then all the edges. For linked
sketches and strings, all the curves in the source sketch or string are
mapped. This routine returns an appropriate error code if passed a
linked point, datum, or curve. If the link is currently broken and the
source data is not available, n_map_items is set to 0. If the source
data's part is not already fully loaded, it is fully loaded if allow_load is
true; otherwise, 0 or NULL is returned for all arguments and an
appropriate error code is given.

Instead of making repeated calls to UF_WAVE_map_source_to_link_geom or

persistently frozen parts.

wave

Updates a set of out of date parts. This updates frozen parts. If a part
in the array is partially loaded (and it's out of date) it is fully loaded in
order to allow for the update.

In order to run, this routine requires the existence of at least
one WAVE license. The function does not use a license, but requires
that one is installed. If a WAVE license is not installed, this function
returns an error.
