    Create returns ToolAttributeDef;
    ---Purpose : Returns a ToolAttributeDef, ready to work

    	    	   IR : IGESReaderData; PR : in out ParamReader)
    	raises DomainError  is static;
    ---Purpose : Reads own parameters from file. <PR> gives access to them,
    --           <IR> detains parameter types and values

    	    	    IW : in out IGESWriter)  is static;
    ---Purpose : Writes own parameters to IGESWriter

    	        iter : in out EntityIterator)  is static;
    ---Purpose : Lists the Entities shared by a AttributeDef <ent>, from
    --           its specific (own) parameters

    DirChecker (me; ent : AttributeDef) returns DirChecker  is static;
    ---Purpose : Returns specific DirChecker

    OwnCheck   (me; ent : AttributeDef;
    	        shares  : ShareTool; ach : in out Check)  is static;
    ---Purpose : Performs Specific Semantic Check


    OwnCopy    (me; entfrom : AttributeDef; entto : mutable AttributeDef;
    	        TC : in out CopyTool)  is static;
    ---Purpose : Copies Specific Parameters

        is static;
    ---Purpose : Dump of Specific Parameters
