  Correction Explanation
  An environment variable is defined for setting this
  capability:
  export DXF_IMPORT_MODEL_IN_BACKGROUND=1
  it must be set before running CATIA.
  In this case the model space is imported into the
  background.
  Note that it doesn't interact with the current
  option "Import Paper Spaces in Background" that
  concerns only the paperspace of layouts.
