How to Do a Safe Save into ENOVIA LCA from CATIA V5

The objective of Safe Save is to prevent the user from building / editing data in CATIA V5 if they cannot be saved in ENOVIA LCA. Therefore, in interoperability mode, some CATIA V5 commands are grayed out / hidden in the DMU Fitting Simulator workbench.

Only commands subject to restrictions are listed below. And in some cases, rules are applied to restricted commands.
