Stop CATIA from creating new product on startup

[norkamus]

Every time I start CATIA it opens a new product document. Is there any way to stop this? I want CATIA to do nothing on open.

Add the following variables to your Environment System variables
Blank Catia
CatNoStartDocument = 1

No spash screen on startup
CNextSplashScreen = no

needed when you are using R22 and LUM licensing.
DSLICENSING = Legacy

The simplest way to stop this is simply inserting
CATNoStartDocument=yes
into your CATSettings. You don't need to create any environment variable or anything else.

Is that not the exact thing as the original answer?

There are 3 locations to add the variables.
System Properties --> Environment Variables --> User Variables --- only good for that user and any version Catia
--> System Vars --- good for all users and any version of Catia

Catia environment by default C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv\CATIA.V5R20.B20.txt (name and location may vary)
Any setting in the Catia environment file will supersede the System properties.


I prefer the System var location, IT sets the variables once.
