Who knows where the Custom Toolbar files are stored?

Who knows where the Custom Toolbar files are stored?

Who knows where the Custom Toolbar files are stored?

(OP)
I've been on a new job for 3 weeks: finally feeling comfy; set up all my custom toolbars the way I like them, etc.
Now I am informed that I have been working on the wrong server; so, I launch from the "new" server, and my toolbars are non-existent. I'm sure they are saved somewhere in a file that I can access, but I don't know where. I can still log in on the other server to copy the files, but I need to find them.
Thanks,
'ziner

RE: Who knows where the Custom Toolbar files are stored?

Hi,

With CATIA started (with your environment where you created your customization) , run the CATScript bellow:

Sub CATMain ()

MsgBox "The path to your CATSettings file is:" & vbLf & vbLf & _
CATIA.SystemService.Environ ( "CATUserSettingPath"), _
vbOKOnly + vbInformation, "User Settings"

Dim input
Dim extension
Dim path(8) As String
Dim result As Integer
Dim sLF
Dim arrayOfVariantOfBSTR1(0)

'~ '------------------------
sLF = Chr(10)

input = InputBox ("User Settings - right mouse click to copy the path to your CATSettings files", "Find user CATSettings folder", CATIA.SystemService.Environ ( "CATUserSettingPath") )

If input = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

End Sub

This will give you the path to the folder where your CATSettings are stored.
Usually designers wants to keep next settings which includes their own customization:

FrameGeneral.CATSettings
DialogEditStack.CATSettings
DialogPosition.CATSettings
FrameConfig.CATSettings
