Preferences in Catia

[Jashe]

Since we downloaded Catia V5 R22, every time I open it up, certain settings keep going back to what I believe to be the default settings. So I have to keep going to the Options menu and changing things like grid, snap, the size of the tree, etc. I there a way to save or keep the settings (or preferences) that I want?

Hi,
you can take a back up your "CAT settings" available in your CATsettings folder under C:\Users\catiasupport\AppData\Local\CATSettings. CATIAsupport refers to login name here.
Hope it helps.

Sounds like your admin has a script running at CATIA launch that wipes your local customizations (CATSettings).
Speak to your admin about this.

If this is the case, there is no way applying saved CATSettings is going to work.
CATIA reads them as it is opening. {First it reads the global settings then the local settings: your customizations are the local ones}
