CIM's Storage System

Q. CIM is not saved and an error message is displayed.

A. In CIM, the work file is saved only in Base Mode.

If you are running a mode other than Base, click [Mode OK] and then proceed with saving in Base Mode.

CIM consists of a total of 9 Modes with the Base Mode as its center.

Each mode consists of different work screens and panels so that users can model in an optimal environment.

In each mode, you can return to Base Mode by saving/exiting the work done.

There are two types of CIM storage system: saving the entire work in the form of a cimz file in Base mode and exporting the library.

The CIM work file can be saved with the File menu - Save/Save as button in Base Mode.

You can use the shortcut [ Ctrl + S ]/[ Ctrl + Shift + S ] to save.

All work progress including drawing/analysis/construction animation/cutting view/sub-Library/layout in Base mode is saved in the file.

Q. Can I save the library file separately?

A. After entering the library, you can save/import the library separately through the Export/Import function.

In CIM, not only CIM work files but also libraries can be extracted and saved separately.

By extracting and maintaining the library file separately, it can be used in other projects in the future as well.

Modeling can be done faster and easier by utilizing the library assets the user has.

In the extracted library file, including sub-library, section information (User Section) and drawing information (Drawing View) are saved together.

Library Export is available in the Export main panel of each Library Mode and can also be extracted from the Works Tree in Base Mode.

Library files created in this way can be loaded through the Import function on the main panel of each library in the Base mode.
