How to Do a Safe Save into ENOVIA VPM 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 VPM. 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. In all cases, the data is in Explode mode.
