Tranferring custom commands from Autocad to Autocad LT (Mac)

[vargas.jna]

I'll be switching from Autocad to Autocad LT (still on the same Mac) in about a month and was wondering if there was a way to get all my custom commands and aliases from one to another, without having to manually write and modify everything from scratch.

thanks in advance

Hi @vargas.jna ,

You can migrate customizations from one AutoCAD for Mac version to another, but I don't think that it is possible to automate the migration of custom settings from full AutoCAD to LT.

You can do this only manually.

... also, if any of your "custom commands" include commands (or LISP) that are not in LT as a core feature, they will not suddenly run in LT either.

@maxim_k  too bad, thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll have to take a bit of time inputting everything all over again...

@pendean yes I am aware. The one command I used a lot that won't be available in LT is FLATTEN. Super handy even in 2D drawing (mainly when working on imported/received files). But oh well, I will have to learn to live without it.

Thank you both
