CimEdit/CimView File Types and Search Paths
CimEdit enables you to save screens in three formats.
Format | Type |
---|---|
.cim | Binary, editable. |
.cimrt | Binary, protected. |
.ctx | Text, editable. |
CimEdit can also read files that are in .asc text format.
The format you choose determines:
- Whether the screen is protected or editable.
- When the screen is looked for in a CimEdit/CimView screen search sequence. CimEdit searches for the file when you instruct CimEdit/CimView to open a screen, e.g., through an Open Screen action or Overlay Screen action.
