UI Files for Smooth UI Setup?

[miketruly]

I hate setting up my MAX interface layout.  Why?  Because I've done it SO many times before and it's such a hassle to do it again.

Anyway... on to my question.

Let's say MAX2021 is setup exactly how I want to work on SystemA.  The windows are all postioned as desired and UI colors are chosen, etc.

Now lets say I have a fresh install of MAX2021 on an identical system (SystemB), and I want the MAX2021 UI to be the same as on SystemA.

What UI files need to be copied from SystemA over to SystemB so that MAX2021 opens with the same setup?

Thanks!

Save and load everything (Toolbars, Quads, Menus, Colors...) in this Customize windows. Keyboard shortcut *.hsx from Hotkey Editor. Put identical Maxstart.max to both PC's max scenes folder.

But still not a really quick way to do it, agree with you. Maybe there're people already automatic this task on large amount of PCs, they'll have solution for this.

Thanks for the ideas!

That is basically what I have done.  Copied files from one MAX2021 install to the other install.  Overall, it was much faster to setup the new install this way but there were a few things I had to manually setup again.

Thanks again.
