importing/exporting user customization

hey all,

I´ve been fiddling around with the user customization settings and can´t seem to properly export my settings. Autocad help didn´t answer any of my questions either.

Does the cui file export ALL settings like tool palletes?

Does anybody know of any tutorials that can help?

Try exporing your Profile (Options -> profile) - I think that includes your palettes settings.

thanks tiger,

one question, what is the difference between profile and cui configuratons?

The profile options just imported the user interface settings, but didn´t import my tool palletes.

The import/ export customization window is a bit confusing, can anybody help?

I recently upgraded to a new machine at work and had to reload all my customization. When I load my custom profile, it loaded all my "options" settings and my CUI settings, but make sure your profile (arg) and cui file saved somewhere.

Toolpalette is a completely different beast. You have to create a catalog of your toopalette from content browser if you don't already have a catalog setup. Then import the catalog back to your new machine.

and how do i create a catalog??

try this; untested, i'm sitting in the library at school.

 
(defun c:UserBackup ( / bu_list )
(vl-mkdir "c:\\user_backup")
(setq bu_list (list "acad.cui" "land.cui" "civil.cui" "acad.pgp"))
(foreach bu bu_list
 (if
  (findfile bu)
   (progn
    (vl-file-copy (findfile bu) (strcat "c:\\user_backup\\" bu))
    (princ (strcat "\n " bu " backed up to "c:\user_backup"))
   );progn
 );if
);foreach
(princ)
);defun
