The catsettings file extension identifies settings files used by CATIA. These files contain configuration data for the software, such as user or application preferences and other customized settings.
A catsettings file is part of CATIA's settings environment rather than a CAD model or other design document. CATIA uses the file internally when applying the saved configuration.
CATIA is commercial CAD, CAM and CAE software developed by Dassault Systèmes for Microsoft Windows and Unix systems. This record concerns the Microsoft Windows version of CATIA.
Open a catsettings file through CATIA on Microsoft Windows. It is intended for internal use by CATIA and is not normally opened as a standalone document.
Conversion to other formats is not possible. CATIA-specific settings should instead be managed or transferred using CATIA's own settings and environment management features.
