Export Custom Settings

When exporting custom settings, the custom files stored locally and all user profiles are exported to a migration package. You have the option to include custom files that are stored in network locations. During the creation of the migration package, you do not have any control over which types of files are included in the migration package. The Export Custom Settings dialog box is used to create the migration package so it can be imported to another computer or the same computer running the same release of the product.

To export custom settings

1. Click Start menu (Windows) All Programs (or Programs) Autodesk AutoCAD 2008 Migrate Custom Settings Export AutoCAD 2008 Settings.
2. In the Export Custom Settings dialog box, select the Include Custom Files in Networked Locations option if you have files in network locations that you want included in the migration package that is created.

   

3. Click Export.
4. In the Export Custom Settings file navigation dialog box, enter a name and specify a location for the migration. Click Open.

   A new ZIP file is created.

5. In the confirmation message box, click OK.
