CATIA Launcher is a PySide2 (PyQT) application that will launch CATIA V5. A typical usage scenario is a company's that might have several CATIA versions / configurations to support several different clients / projects.
To use CATIA launcher the CATIA shortcut .lnk files must be in the same network accessible location.
Website URLs can also be added to the list. The .website shortcut generated by internet explorer must be in the same folder as the .lnk files.
You can either clone the repository using github or download a zip file.

Upon first running the application the user is prompted for the path of the location to the folder containing the CATIA shortcut links. This will then create a config.json file. These shortcut links are then used to generate the menu options within the application.
Once done, run the application again.
