CimEdit/CimView Screen Search Sequence

When an action, such as Open Screen , opens a screen that is identified with a CimEdit extension (e.g., .cim ), in an absolute path, CimEdit/CimView opens that screen.

More frequently, commands for CimEdit/CimView to find another screen include a static path and may or may not provide a CimEdit extension to the file name. CimEdit/CimView follows a specific search sequence to find the file.

Factors affecting when CimEdit/CimView will look for the screen in the sequence include:

• Whether the screen from which the action is triggered is editable or protected.
• The directory in which the current screen resides (current directory).
• The file name extension that was entered for the screen to be opened.
