Configuring Environment for Windows 32 bit

Use the following steps to configure environment for Windows (32 and 64 bit) systems.

Before you begin:
  • Ensure that your integration system is not configured using MX_CATIA_INSTALL_DIR variable. This feature does not work for systems that are configured using MX_CATIA_INSTALL_DIR variable.
  • Ensure that the mxlaunchCATIAV5.bat file is located in the path specified for the PATH environment variable.

  1. Copy the mxlaunchCATIAV5_Sample.bat" located in <CATIA Installation Directory>\intel-a\reffiles to the system path and rename it to "mxlaunchCATIAV5.bat".

  2. Open the BAT file (mxlaunchCATIAV5.bat) in the edit mode and enter the following information in the batch file:

    1. Provide the location where CATIA V5 is installed in the variable CATIA_INSTALL_DIR
    2. Provide the name of the environment file to be used in the variable ENV_FILE_NAME.
    3. Provide the location of the environment file to be used in the variable ENV_FILE_LOCATION

      Ensure that you do not enter any extra spaces at the end of each line.

      A sample mxlaunchCATIAV5_Sample.bat for Windows 32 bit is,

      @set CATIA_INSTALL_DIR=C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B18

      @set ENV_FILE_NAME=CATIA.V5R18.B18

      @set ENV_FILE_LOCATION=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application 
Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv

      @REM Please do not edit below this line

      @IF "%2"==""-action:connect""  (

      start "CATIA V5" "%CATIA_INSTALL_DIR%\intel_a\code\bin\CATSTART.exe" 
-run "CNEXT.exe -e  V6CATIAConnectHdr" -env "%ENV_FILE_NAME%" -direnv 
"%ENV_FILE_LOCATION%"

      )

          @IF "%2"==""-action:checkout"" (

           start "CATIA V5" 
"%CATIA_INSTALL_DIR%\intel_a\code\bin\CATSTART.exe" -run "CNEXT.exe -e                    
V6CATIASilentCheckoutCmdHdr" -env "%ENV_FILE_NAME%" -direnv 
"%ENV_FILE_LOCATION%"

         )

         echo returned

  3. Run the mxlaunchCATIAV5.bat batch file.
