Learn CATIA-SCRIPTS with Real Code Examples

CATIA application exposes APIs accessible via scripting languages

Scripts interact with document objects (Part, Product, Drawing)

Macros can be triggered manually, via events, or in batch mode

Data can be read from or written to external sources (Excel, databases)

Scripts can modify geometries, assemblies, or annotations programmatically

Scripts interact with CATIA documents (Part, Product, Drawing)

Geometries and assemblies are manipulated programmatically

Parameters drive dimensions and design variants

Batch scripts execute operations on multiple documents

PLM/ERP integration synchronizes data externally

Macro-driven automation

Event-triggered scripting

Parameter-based batch processing

API-based external system integration
