catia

Rust COM bindings and helpers for CATIA V5 on Windows.

Features

• COM bootstrap helpers (ComApartment) for safe COM initialization.
• High-level CatiaApp wrapper around CATIA V5 COM automation.
• CatiaApi trait with mock and real implementations for testing.
• Examples covering documents, selection, export, and dialogs.

Requirements

• Windows only (windows crate, Win32 COM APIs).
• For real automation: CATIA V5 installed and registered ProgID (e.g. CATIA.Application).
• For unit/demo: use --mock to run examples without CATIA.

Quick Start

Add to Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
catia = "0.1.0"

Create an app and call APIs:

use catia::{ComApartment, CatiaApp};
use catia::catia::{CatiaApi, CatiaMock};

fn main() -> windows::core::Result<()> {
    let _apt = ComApartment::new()?;
    // Use real CATIA if ProgID is registered, otherwise mock
    let app: Box<dyn CatiaApi> = if catia::com::is_progid_registered("CATIA.Application")? {
        Box::new(CatiaApp::new("CATIA.Application")?)
    } else {
        Box::new(CatiaMock)
    };

    println!("CATIA visible? {}", app.visible()?);
    Ok(())
}

Run examples:

cargo run --example selection_search -- --mock --query "CATGmoSearch.Point,all"
cargo run --example export_document -- --mock --path "C:/Temp/Export.stp" --fmt stp

Notes

• COM calls mirror CATIA V5 automation (Documents, Selection, ActiveDocument, etc.).
• Mock mode prints simulated COM calls for local testing.
• Export options may vary by document type; adapt as needed.
