Clear Script Settings

File: Utility_Scripts/Clear_Script_Settings.py
Version: 1.0
Document Type: None (standalone — no CATIA document required)

---

Description

Removes the %APPDATA%\pycatia_scripts folder and all its contents, resetting every script's saved user presets back to factory defaults. A confirmation dialog lists all script folders that will be removed before proceeding. Each script recreates its own subfolder the next time it is run.

What Gets Deleted

The entire %APPDATA%\pycatia_scripts folder is removed. This includes one subfolder per script that saves settings, for example:

%APPDATA%\pycatia_scripts\
├── Ellipse_Generator\
│   └── user_presets.json
├── NACA_4_Digit_Airfoil_Generator\
│   └── user_presets.json
├── NACA_5_Digit_Airfoil_Generator\
│   └── user_presets.json
│   ...

Only scripts that have been run at least once will have a subfolder here.

Notes

• If the folder does not exist, the script reports that there is nothing to clear and exits
• The deletion cannot be undone — scripts will revert to their hardcoded factory defaults on next run
• CATIA does not need to be open or closed; this script is independent of CATIA
