Catia V5 release and SP/HF 1

[JeniaL]

A while back ago I saw in the Internet an explanation how to show Catia V5 level at left top corner of Cati V5 window. Can't find that today. I run Catia with different environments and I'd like to see what Catia I run.How can I see that info at left top corner right after Catia V5?

I often use remote connection from my laptop this is why I have Catia Home( Remote connection using laptop).

Thanks a lot. But where do i put that in Catia shortcut properties?

From your last question I understand that you need in fact a CATIA launcher not a script to identify what is actually running. There are several solutions on web, some of them quite sophisticated.

Or if you have time you can develop your own, I saw that you know how to do programs.

in ..\resources\msgcatalog\CATIA.CATNls you find ApplicationFrame.Title = "put what you want here..."

itsmyjob thanks a lot. This is good for one Catia icon. I have several icons with different settings on my desktop.

@ Ferdo Good idea to start Catia using small .exe. I'll try that.

so maybe you need to manage your catia env... and have more than just few icon to start catia.

we use custom made application to start catia based on the user options (environment, catia level...)

JeniaL,
If you have the macro that adds the text you want, you can run the macro every time catia starts by adding the -Macro flag to your startup.
Point to the location of your macro after CNEXT.EXE as shown below.

..._b64\code\bin\CATSTART.exe" -run "CNEXT.EXE -macro C:\V5\MACROS\Version.catvbs" ...
