  2.Launch the CATIA
  3.Go to Tools->Option->General->DISPLAY->Navigation , make
  sure that the ?animation during viewpoint modification ? is
  clicked
  4.In general workshop you can find the customer command
  5.First command (with icon that has number 1 in a circle)
  disables view animation mode by using Automation API. Second
  command (2 in a circle) will try to do the same thing using
  CAA APIs
  6.Run the second command ( CAA APIs), Now check the
  tools->option , the option is still selected.
  7.Now restart CATIA5 session. You will see that option is now
  unchecked.
  8.Now try first command (Automation API) after manually
  re-enabling view animation mode in Tools-Options. You will
  see immediate effects without restarting CATIA5 session.

  The ?animation during viewpoint modification? setting does
  not get modified in the same CATIA session though it is
  working with automation API.
