I've recently had to switch computers at work, how can i get all my set ups,

(map file), copied to my new computer?

Do a search here for "new computers" "ARG", "profiles" lots of stuff about setting up a new computer, your question is to vauge, no menus ? directory problems ? more info than "Map file"

I'm referring to my screen layout with all my buttons and settings,

I'm trying to not have to spend half a day setting my new computer up to match the way my last one was. I believe the saved settings are under the extension .MAP

You mean the Workspace and users profile. Look in the CUI for exporting/importing the workspace and in the options for the profiles and the .arg files.

If we are talking about AutoCAD 2012 then I think you are mistaken about the file extension being .MAP.

 

I believe we are talking about migrating your customizations aren't we? These can be for things like linetypes (ACAD.LIN), hatch patterns (ACAD.PAT), command aliases (ACAD.PGP), tool palettes (use the Export option - .ATC file), customized user interface (ACAD.CUIx), and profiles (.ARG file).
