Export user defined coordinate system

Hello,
Here at work we are have one computer that has some user defined coordinate systems on it, and we are needing to place these coordinate system files onto another computer so we can project some of our drawing files correctly.
What do we need to do in order to move these files from one computer to the next? What do we need to export?

Hi Rage,

You have 2 options
1) Global - Go to the dir ..\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk
Shared\GIS\CoordSys\ - choose the highest release directory (you may only
have one) eg 11e. In that directory copy all the .csd file (there are 4) and
place them on the other machine in the same place. Benefit - copies them all
at once Con - will overwrite other custom coord sys on the target machine
2) Single - Go to Map|Tools|Assign Global Coordinate System - assign your
custom cs. Save dwg file. Open dwg file on target machine and it will add
the cs to that machine.

Check out Map|Options and then click on the Coordinate system tab to tell
AutoCAD how you want custom coordinate system to be treated.

Best regards,

Adam
