Synchronize UI/user options via my Autodesk Account

[mark_kauffman]

I would like to see an option to synchronize all my UI/User options between all the machines where I use 3ds max. For instance, I have a workstation and a laptop and must manually synchronize my user preferences and UI settings between the two machines if I change anything. To add to the confusion, if I need to use one of the other workstations in my office, I must manually set up my UI/user preferences. 

What I would like to see is a mechanism integrated into my Autodesk User account, which facilitates synchronization between all these machines, simply logging into my account and selecting "sync", or have an option to automatically sync the preferences.

Hi,

I have repeatedly raised this as a concern for many many years.  It got to the point in which we did not run the new release due to the complication of this UI/Pref issues,  I recall some version upgrades added features that then meant the UI from previous issues did not properly work.

The 3D MAX UI preferences is a nightmare - user folders buried into windows, workspaces, and at least 5 custom file preferences.

Adobe and Word manage to update their programs and ASK or DEFAULT to importing your previous settings across to the new install.  We have MAX 2017 - 2018-2019-2020-2021-2022 folders etc.

On the forums is a knowledgeable post that quotes, the first time you do it it takes about 1 hour, thereafter about 30mins.

You make us sign in these days with the cloud , so I second this idea of a little tickbox asking do you want preferences saved/updated/loaded from the cloud.
