Catia gives error “Unknown Command”

If you are using Catia in a language that doesn’t match your system locale you might get the error “Unknown Command” with a mapping on your SpaceMouse or CadMouse.

To solve this you need to add a new entry in the registry.

Open the registry (as administrator) and go to the folder HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\3Dconnexion\3DxWare.

Create a new REG_SZ (string) in this key with the name “CATIALocale” (without the quotes). The value of the string must be set to the decimal code of the language:

1033   English
1036   French
1031  German
1040  Italian
1041  Japanese
1042  Korean
2052  Chinese

 

For example, if you are using CATIA in English and the system locale (“your locale” option) is set to a different language, then you need to set the CATIALocale value to “1033”.
