These videos show all the exercises in the book from start to finish.
There are no "breaks" in the videos for you to do parts of the 
exercise. Simply pause the video and return to CATIA V5 to try parts
and return to the video as needed for clarity.

Remember that there are many ways to accomplish a task in CATIA. These
videos replicate the exercise in the book verbatim (nearly). You may 
reach the same goal using a different method here or there and that 
is OK. Also, CATIA is very flexible with regards to icon and toolbar
placement. Do not get hung up by the fact that your screen may look
different than the one in the video. Different licenses will also
cause some of the pull-downs to appear differently.

The videos are AVI files that have been "compiled" into an executable
file. The necessary player is included in the executable file.

To play one of the videos simply double click on it. The video will 
start in a window with a simple VCR-like toolbar at the top. The
toolbar provides the following functions:

   Play
   Pause
   Stop
   Rewind to beginning
   Rewind
   Fast Forward
   Forward to end
   and a "slider" for scrolling forward or backward

Many of these controls are available by right-clicking in the video 
window. If you would like to see the video in full screen mode you can
either right-click and select Full Screen or simply press Alt-Enter.

In order to rewind, fast forward, or use the slider control you must
pause the video.

The mouse pointer on the screen has a yellow filled circle around it 
to allow you to track it easier. When the mouse clicks you will see 
a red circle around the pointer.

To get the most out of the screen, we do not show the video player's
titlebar and window controls, so to close the video right-click in 
the window and select Exit.

These videos are designed to be viewed on a system with a resolution of 
1280x1024. This resolution was chosen as it is the preferred resolution
for using CATIA V5. If your system is set to a lower resolution then 
either increase it or you will have to scroll the video alot.

These videos were captured using software called Camtasia from TechSmith
http://www.techsmith.com. To get the highest quality and best clarity 
possible we used an AVI CODEC that they developed called TSCC. If you do
not know what a CODEC is do not worry about it, the executable file 
contains the CODEC and the code to install it on your system. If you
do not have administrator rights to your system and the TSCC CODEC is
not already installed the videos will not play. You should have someone
with administrator rights log on to your system and play one of the videos.
This will automatically install the required CODEC. Alternatively, the 
administrator can simply run the included TSCC.EXE file to install the
CODEC.
