Summary

The title block editor provides an example for an easy integration of CATIA V5 with other applications. The program consists of 2 small parts
1) a CATScript macro which extracts the title block data from the CATIA drawing and which performs the modifications
2) a TCL program which allows the user an easy modification of the data.
Both programs run under Unix and Windows. The Windows script is wrapped into an executable .exe file, so the installation effort is minimal.
More detail can be found in the documentation (doc.pdf)

Request for infos

Please send samples (screenshots) of your implementations to me. I will inlude these in the doc. This way, other users can better get an idea on how to configure the macro.
