Hi guys,

I've got to acces my "Manufacturing" directory from a batch file and I'm wondering if there is a way to get the location of this directory from a Environment Variable or a Registry?

 

Anyone has an idea about how to get this information out of CATIA ?  Also from the same batch file I would need to change some CATIA settings (ie.: tape file extension, current units and linear feedrate, etc...)  Anyway I could run some settings file automatically from my batch file.  I'm not an expert on that topic.


With best regards,
Simon H.

Hi Simon,

it is under the Startup directory, you can get startup directory by Catia environment variable "CATStartupPath", the Manufacturing directory is right under it. Here is a example:

Language="VBSCRIPT"
Sub CATMain()
Dim oFileSys as FileSystem
Set oFileSys = CATIA.FileSystem
Dim sStartupPath as String
sStartupPath=CATIA.SystemService.Environ("CATStartupPath")
msgBox(sStartupPath)
End Sub

I have no idea about the settings
