Click OK to Terminate

CATIA crashes. A message box appears, one button, “Click OK to Terminate”, and every unsaved document you had open is gone the moment you click it. No prompt to save, no second chance. Click OK to Terminate steps in first: it grabs every open document in the background and lets you save what matters before CATIA finishes going down.

What it does

• Lists every open document, Parts, Products, and Drawings currently open in the crashing CATIA session, with a clear saved / unsaved / never-saved status per file.
• Saves in place or prompts for a location, already-named files save instantly; brand-new, never-saved documents get a Save As dialog so nothing is lost for lack of a filename.
• Refreshes on demand, pull the latest document list at any point before you decide what to save.
• Filters to what needs attention, optionally show only unsaved documents, so you’re not scanning a full list under pressure.

How it works

The moment the CATIA crash dialog appears, launch the tool. It reads the open documents straight from the still-alive CATIA session, select the ones you want to keep, hit SAVE, and only then let CATIA terminate.

Where it fits

Free for everyone, no strings attached, this is the one tool we want every designer to have installed long before they ever need it. It asks nothing of you upfront and only proves its worth once, at the exact moment nothing else can help.
