At my company, we use different versions of V5 and periodically inadvertantly save a R16 file in R17. This of course makes it impossible to open in V5 R16. I know there is a way to make Catia show which version you have open in the window border display (see attachment) but I don't know how. Catia's default is simply "CATIA V5" at the top of the window. What is the setting to change this to "CATIA V5 R16" or similar to represent which release you are in? Thanks in advance... Jon

God bless America!

Hi, I don't know if this is the best way to do it but.... In the CATIA.CATNls file (open with notepad) edit the ApplicationFrame.Title line to reflect the application level you want. E.g.: ApplicationFrame.Title = "CATIA V5R18 SP6"

Guys, Thanks for the quick response and links. I changed the CATIA.CATNls file with a different application frame title, simple as that. Again thanks a lot for your time... Jon

Seperate folders for each release using Save Management Save As then click the Propagate directory button. Steps below: 1. Select File > Save Management. The Save Management dialog box appears. 2. Select the file or files to be saved. 3. If you decided to add a prefix in step 2, click the Apply Pattern button to propagate the pattern you set in the Pattern Name box to all the selected documents (otherwise, jump to the next step). In our example, *xxx has been entered in the Pattern Name box. 4. Click Save As... to open the following dialog box. 5. Indicate the name of the new created file in the File name box as well as the destination folder. If a suffix xxx has been applied, it is also displayed in the File name box. 6. Click Save. 7. When you have saved a document in a new directory, use the Propagate directory button to save the files linked to this document into the same directory. 8. Click OK to confirm.
