Working with ENOVIA LCA: Optimal CATIA PLM Usability

When working with ENOVIA LCA, the safe save mode prevents the user from creating or editing data in CATIA that cannot be correctly saved in ENOVIA LCA.
Working in this mode means that certain commands are unavailable (i.e. grayed) as you enter the Photo Studio workbench.

ENOVIA LCA offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept).

Below are listed the commands along with their accessibility status in Explode mode and, in some cases, the rules that are applied to the restricted commands.
