      <p class="para_topic">The CATIA V5 user interface will look for the settings file catiav5.def in the local directory. If the system finds the settings file, its contents will be used as the initial settings of the user interface. If no local file is found, then the settings file provided with the installation &ndash; <b class="commandName">UGII_BASE_DIR\catiav5\catiav5.def</b> will be used. This file is distributed with user interface options set to what are generally considered the most appropriate values.
