Is there a way to "backup" my settings?


Recommended Posts

I know about the profiles in the options, but I am concerned about the keyboard short cuts and tool palettes. I usually have about 8 to 9 tabs of blocks that I use, and I will go through everyone and make them insert on a certain layer, and it usually takes a while to go through all of them and set them seperatley. Is there a way I can backup those so that if I have to restore the computer or get a new computer, I won't have to go through all of the process again?

You can export your Tool Palettes by right clicking them in the Customize dialog box. Then, just save your *.PGP file for the shortcuts. Keep them on a USB thumb drive or something.

Keyboard shortcuts could be defined in the PGP file, as lisp functions in various lisp files, or in one of many CUI files.

 

My advise is to keep all your "personal" stuff in a separate directory, then you don't have to guess where all this stuff is when you move to a new machine, or upgrade, etc.
