Set "Files of type" to CATPart

Set "Files of type" to CATPart

Set "Files of type" to CATPart

(OP)
When opening a document in Catia V5 the field "Files of type" is set to "All Files(*.*)" by default.

Can this be changed so the default is always set to CATPart?

RE: Set "Files of type" to CATPart

Hi,

First thing which came in my head is to create a bat file.

Copy next "code" in a txt file and change the extention from txt to bat (eventually put it on desktop)

START "" CNEXT.exe -workbench "Part Design"

In fact, you can start CATIA directly with run command from Windows start menu. You have bellow few examples

CNEXT.exe -workbench "Part Design"   - Initiate CATIA in  Part Design Workbench
CNEXT.exe -workbench "Generative Shape Design"   - Initiate CATIA in  Generative Shape Design Workbench
CNEXT.exe -object c:\_Migration\Test.CATPart  -Initiate CATIA with a CATPart found in folder c:\_Migration\Test.CATPart

Of course, Test.CATPart can be a template part but you have to take care to save it with a new UUID (see FAQ section).

Regards
Fernando
