I had a similar problem. If you have enough hard drive space, you can copy each CD to a temporary folder on the hard drive and install the help from the first folder. Every time it asks for a new CD, point it to a different folder.
Does anyone have any experience with section cuts failing to generate on some solids? The solids seem OK for booleans. I found one note in the Eng-Tips Catia FAQ that starts with "TANGENT CUTTING PROFILE -".
Sorry I took so long to reply, mb77.
I think you do need CAA to respond to events like file save.
You can use Knowledgeware/VB to respond to changes in a feature or parameter.
You can write in-house applications with CAA. It's expensive and requires a lot of training/learning. We started it, but I don't know yet how to get something to trigger on file save. I would like to do that myself.
