Learn How to Write CATIA VB Script Macros: Lesson 4

Happy New Year! (How long into the new year before that expression gets old?) We're going to continue our CATIA macro lessons. Through a series of example code we’ll explain how to use and create CATScript macros for CATIA V5. No programming experience required! After reading our tutorials you'll know how to write VBScript macros for CATIA V5 and be on your way to automating those repetitive tasks and impressing your co-workers and bosses! Much of this information is not featured in the user help documentation.

One quick note: CATIA V5 running on Windows can be automated with any application which can connect to Windows COM Objects, including VBA (Excel, Word, CATIA, etc.), VBScript, JavaScript, Visual Basic 6.0, Microsoft Developers Studio.NET, and others. For CATIA V5 running on UNIX, emulators allow for VBScripts to be run with no interface building tools. However, this will not be covered in this text.
