Optimal CATIA PLM Usability for Assembly Design

When working with ENOVIA V5, the safe save mode ensures that you only create data in CATIA V5 that can be correctly saved in ENOVIA V5.
  ENOVIA V5 offers two different storage modes: Workpackage (Document kept - Publications Exposed) and Explode (Document not kept). Assembly Design have been configured to work in both Workpackage mode and the Explode mode, depending on the objects considered.
  This safe save mode means that certain commands are unavailable.
  We recommend that you read the VPM Navigator User's Guide to know more about this product. This documentation can be found on the ENOVIA LifeCycle Applications Documentation CDRom.
