How to Migrate Custom Settings from Previous Versions

You can migrate your custom settings and files from previous releases of AutoCAD (AutoCAD 2000 through AutoCAD 2008) to AutoCAD 2008. It is recommended that you migrate from a previous release when you first use AutoCAD 2008 or soon thereafter. Migrating right away prevents you from overwriting files or having to keep track of any custom settings you may make in the new release.
