Showing revision number in title bar

Showing revision number in title bar

Showing revision number in title bar

(OP)
Morning all-

Is there any way to do this? I constantly have V5 revisions 18 and 20 open at the same time, and I'm always accidentally saving files in R20- so then I can't send them to customers using R18, which is a real pain. It'd be really useful to have the revision number of the program at the top of the screen, so I could make sure I'm using the right program easily.

Thanks

Simon

Get it done from your IT dept. I too had similar issues. Working with multiple versions always create confusion. They all look alike.
But my IT fixed it. smile

@happystamps
Try running this line of catvba code after you open CATIA. See this image for an example of what it does.

CODE --> vba

Sub CATMain()

CATIA.Caption = "CATIA V" & CATIA.SystemConfiguration.Version & " R" & CATIA.SystemConfiguration.Release & " SP" & CATIA.SystemConfiguration.ServicePack

End Sub

Hi Happystamps.

The most secure method for your problem is to use a LastSavedVersionWather for CATIA.
The LastSavedVersionWatcher (LSVW) is an application for watching the last save version of a CATIA file on open and save of it.
