How to restore old custom drawing process from backed up files?

Hello, I have backed up my previous GBR folder before reinstalling advance steel again and I just want the custom drawing process I made with custom drawing styles. Which file do I need to swap so I don't break anything else? I don't want to replace the whole GBR folder.

 

Thank you.

Hi @faijanuddinshaikh 

 

The Drawing Processes are stored in a Database called AstorAddIn, you can find it in the following location - C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Advance Steel 2025\GBR\User2\Data

 

This database does also contain other customised data such as Drawing Stles, new materials, coatings, basically anything that you as a user is stored in this database.

 

If it was just the Drawing Stles you wanted then you would have to open the Database in SQL editor and extract the lines from the tables just for the Drawing Processes, although there will be more than one table and they will cross reference each other so its not a quick task.
