Depending on your needs, you may have to modify the CATIA V5 settings (units, default directory, visualisation parameters, etc) In order to use the appropriate settings for this tutorial, you have two possibilities:

1. Do the following operations (simplest one):

?BEFORE STARTING YOUR CATIA V5 SESSION: ? Copy or replace the directory ..\Assembly Drafting\Data\CATSettings in: For NT users C:\Winnt\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes For Windows 2000 C:\Documents and settings\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes or XP users For Windows C:\Windows\Profiles\XXXXX\Application Data\DassaultSystemes 98 users XXXX is the name used to log on to your computer ? Do not forget to put this folder (CATSettings) in read mode: ? Select the folder (CATSettings) ? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only Attribute ? Select all the files in the folder ? Click mouse button 3 then click on Properties and uncheck the Read-only Attribute

2. Set them manually:

? Launch your CATIA V5 session and do the operations from page 32 onwards

For this tutorial you also need to install a material catalogue: ? Do not do this step if you have already done it in getting started or in a previous tutorial
? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\French directory ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\German directory ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials\Japanese directory ? Copy the ..\Getting Started\Catalog.CATMaterial file under ..\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\M07\intel_a\startup\materials directory
