===============================================================================
RUNNING ONE OF MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF CATIA V5 
===============================================================================
If you only have one version of CATIA-V5 installed and its location is 
correctly identified in your path, you should not need any further 
instructions to run the V5 translators from StudioTools.

If you have multiple versions of CATIA V5 installed (two or more of R10, R11 
and R12) and want to export to one of these versions, set the environment 
variable ALIAS_CATIAV5_VERSION. The value of this variable is either 10, 11 or 
12, depending on the version of CATIA V5 that you are using. If you do not set 
this environment variable, then StudioTools assumes that you are exporting to 
the most recent installed version of CATIA. 

For example, to export a StudioTools wirefile to CATIA-V5 R10 if you have both 
R11 and R12 installed, perform the following steps.

1. Double-click System from the Control Panel in Windows.
2. Click the Advanced tab and then click Environment Variables.
3. Click New to create a new User Environment variable, and type 
   ALIAS_CATIAV5_VERSION for the Variable Name and set the Variable Value to 10.
4. Click Ok to all prompts to close the System Properties window.
5. Start StudioTools 11.0.2 to run the CATIAV5 Direct Connect software.


===============================================================================
SETTING A CATIA V5 ENVIRONMENT FOR NETWORK INSTALLATIONS
===============================================================================
If you are running CATIA V5 Direct Connect from a machine other than the one on 
which CATIA V5 is installed, create a CATIA V5 Environment Directory and 
Environment file by using the setcatenv command:

setcatenv -e envFile -d envDir -p CATInstallPath

For example, a CATIA V5 environment can be defined by:

setcatenv -e CATV5-DC-ENV  -d C:\CATV5-DC-DIR  -p \\Remote_Machine\B12\intel_a

and customized to be used by CATIA V5 Direct Connect as follows:

set ALIAS_CATIAV5_PATH=\\Remote_Machine\B12\intel_a\code\bin
set ALIAS_CATIAV5_VERSION=12
set ALIAS_CATIAV5_DIRENV=C:\CATV5-DC-DIR
set ALIAS_CATIAV5_ENV=CATV5-DC-ENV


===============================================================================
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES FOR CATIA V5 DIRECT CONNECT
===============================================================================
The following environment variables are necessary if you are running CATIA V5 Direct 
Connect from a machine other than the one on which CATIA V5 is installed. 

To run CATIA V5 Direct Connect on a machine other than the machine on which CATIA 
V5 is installed, set the following environment variables:

ALIAS_CATIAV5_DIRENV
ALIAS_CATIAV5_ENV
ALIAS_CATIAV5_PATH
ALIAS_CATIAV5_VERSION

To specify a CATIA V5 Environment Storage Directory for user or global 
environment files, use the variable ALIAS_CATV5_DIRENV.
For example, 

set ALIAS_CATV5_DIRENV=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv

or

set ALIAS_CATIAV5_DIRENV=C:\Documents and Settings\jsmith\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv

or

set ALIAS_CATV5_DIRENV=C:\CATV5-DC

To specify a CATIA V5 Environment file (either User or Global type), set the 
environment variable ALIAS_CATIAV5_ENV. The environment file (with a .txt 
extension) should reside in the CATIA V5 Environment Storage directory.

For example,
set ALIAS_CATIAV5_ENV=CATIA.V5R12.B12

To specify the path to the CATIA V5 installation bin directory containing the 
executable catstart.exe, set the environment variable ALIAS_CATIAV5_PATH. 

For example, 
set ALIAS_CATIAV5_PATH=C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B12\intel_a\code\bin
for a locally installed copy, or

set ALIAS_CATIAV5_PATH=\\Remote_Machine\B12\intel_a\cod e\bin
for a copy of CATIA V5 installed on a machine that is different from where 
StudioTools is installed.
