If you have some difficulties or if you need to stop and continue sometime later, you can load them at the end of each step to continue the tutorial. IBM Product Lifecycle Management Solutions / Dassault Systemes Page 3 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES Step 8 Settings 1/2 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): ? 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 IBM Product Lifecycle Management Solutions / Dassault Systemes Page 4 1997 – 2001 DASSAULT SYSTEMES ?BEFORE STARTING YOUR CATIA V5 SESSION: ?
