.cms should be used in order to identify the script as a CimEdit/CimView global script.

 

 

.bcl

Can be used as a global script in CimView/CimEdit.

.bcl should only be used if the script will not include CimEdit/CimView basic extensions. CimEdit can be used to edit the *.bcl file.

Note: CimView saves script files as UNICODE. The Program Editor cannot read UNICODE files. However you can use a text editor, such as Notepad, to convert your *.bcl file to regular ASCII if you need to read it in the Program Editor.
