Detailed Steps
To export a RIMMF record as a MARC record:
- With the record open:
- Choose File | Save As MARC; or press <F9>
- Note the RIMMF Identifer for the record
- Go to your RIMMF data folder 1)
- open the MARC folder and find the corresponding MARC record (using the RIMMF Identifier you noted down earlier)

Notes
The actual MARC instructions are still 'Under Construction', but we have begun to set up the Person entity Rda2Marc/A mapping, and the Manifestation entity Rda2Marc/B mapping so you can try this <F9> step with records for both entities (as long as they were created using RIMMF2) and see how it looks.
1)
When you open a record (not a template), and select the 'Save As MARC' option, or press <F9>, RIMMF will produce a MARC record, based on the MARC Mapping instructions; and write it to the data folder used for your records.
