HowTo:Set the Environment for DLNames

From DocR23

Follow these steps to read DLNames.

1. After configuring DLNames in CATIA V5, confirm that the DLNames.CATSettings file was created at the default CATSettings location, for example:

   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATSettings

2. Create the folder C:\CATSettings.
3. Copy the following files from the default CATSettings location and paste them into the new C:\CATSettings folder:
   • DLNames.CATSettings
   • DefaultAttributesRepository.CATSettings
   • DefaultCreationAttributesPreference.CATPreferences
4. If using InterOp Connect, confirm that the CATDefaultEnvironment (which was created by using the setcatenv.exe utility and for example, the Environment file AWP121DLNAMES.txt) resides at the default location, for example:

   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv

5. Edit the Environment file (for example, AWP121DLNAMES.txt) as per the CATSettings location; for example, replace:

   CATUserSettingPath=CSIDL_APPDATA\DassaultSystemes\CATSettings

   with

   CATUserSettingPath= C:\CATSettings

6. Create the new Environment variable, for example:

   CATDefaultEnvironment=AWP121DLNAMES
