Settings 1/2Depending on your needs, you may have to modify the CATIA V5 settings (units, defaultdirectory, visualisation parameters, etc)

In order to use the appropriate settings for this tutorial, you have two possibilities:

1. Do the following operations (simplest one):

?BEFORE STARTING YOUR CATIA V5 SESSION:

?Copy or replace the directory ..\Assembly Drafting\Data\CATSettingsin:

C:\Winnt\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

C:\Documents and settings\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

C:\Windows\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes

XXXX is the name used to log on to your computer

?Do not forgetto put this folder (CATSettings) inread mode:

? Selectthe folder (CATSettings)

? Click mouse button 3 then click onProperties anduncheck theRead-only Attribute

? Selectall the files in the folder

? Click mouse button 3 then click onProperties and uncheck theRead-onlyAttribute

2. Set them manually:?Launch your CATIA V5 session and do the operations from page 32 onwards

For this tutorial you also need to install a material catalogue:

?Do not do this step if you have already done it in getting started or in a previous tutorial

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\French directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program

Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\German directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\ProgramFiles\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\Japanese directory

? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program

Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials directory

? Answer Yes in order to replace the old catalogue

You are now ready to launch your CATIA V5 session
