Question
CIM does not save and displays an error message.
Answer
In CIM, the working file is saved in Base Mode only.
If the user is in a different Mode, please select [Mode OK] and save in Base Mode.
Figure 1. Mode Types in CIM
CIM consists of 9 Modes that are centered around the Base Mode.
Each Mode consists of a different workscreen and panel for the user to model in an optimal environment.
In each mode, the user can return to the Base Mode by saving and exiting the current mode.
There are two types of CIM storage systems: Saving the entire work in Base Mode in the form of a cimz file and exporting the entire work to the Library.
Figure 2. File Saving in CIM
A working CIM file can be saved in Base Mode through the Save/Save as button under the File menu or through the keyboard shortcut [ Ctrl + S ] / [ Ctrl + Shift + S ].
When the working file is saved in Base Mode, all operations including drawing / analysis / construction animation / cutting view / sub-library / layout are saved.
