Dump parameter values
Dump parameter values
(OP)
Hey Everyone,
Does anyone know what the point of the "Dump parameter values" icon in the Tools>Options is used for? In R14 this icon was added beside the icon that resets all your options back to default.
I selected the icon and it creates .catvbs file that don’t seem to do anything when you run them.
I tried looking in the CATIA help files for any info, but nothing is mentioned.
Thanks,
ryengnut

RE: Dump parameter values
This can be useful if you change settings often. No need to go to Tools, Options just run the script.
RE: Dump parameter values
That would be handy but the files dont modify anything. I tried running several of them as see if they had any affect, but nothing changed.
Online R16 docs dont help either since they dont mention anything about it, and this option was added back in R14.

RE: Dump parameter values
Theoretically, you should be able to dump the values using this button, and then re-run the resulting script to set them on another workstation/session. I haven't tried it yet, though.
RE: Dump parameter values
I dumped out the values from R16 and then deleted all the catsettings from the folder. I restarted catia and needed to select a license (so I did), then restarted. I then ran several of the scripts that were created by the dump function. Restarted catia and nothing changed.
Was I doing something wrong?
Thanks
