Scripts for CatiaMenuWin32 live in the KaiUR/Pycatia_Scripts repository. You can also add your own via a local folder or extra GitHub repo.

Scripts must be placed in a subfolder — the subfolder name becomes the tab name in the app:

Any_Document_Scripts\
Part_Document_Scripts\
Process_Document_Scripts\
Product_Document_Scripts\

The setup\ folder is reserved for requirements.txt and never becomes a tab.

Every script must include a structured metadata header that the app reads to display the tooltip and Script Details:

'''
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Script name: Your_Script_Name.py
 Version: 1.0
 Code: Python3.10.4, Pycatia 0.8.3
 Release: V5R32
 Purpose: One line summary shown on the script button.
 Author: Your Name
 Date: DD.MM.YY
 Description: Full description of what the script does.
 Continuation lines must be indented.
 dependencies = [
 "pycatia",
 ]

 pycatia
 Catia V5 running with an open part document.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'''

• Must be inside a triple-quoted string at the top of the file
• Purpose — one line only; shown as subtitle on the script button
• Description — full detail; continuation lines must be indented
• dependencies — list all pip packages required
• requirements — describes the CATIA state needed to run the script

Use Snake_Case_Descriptive_Name.py. The app converts underscores to spaces automatically — Export_Points_To_CSV.py becomes Export Points To CSV in the button.

Add any pip packages your script requires to setup/requirements.txt in your repository. The app's ↧ Deps button installs them automatically.
