Sharing Custom User Settings from one User to Another.

Hello All!

     I have been AutoCAD deprived since 2012, fortunately for me my new company is an avid user. 

 

My questions is, How do I transfer custom settings from one user to another? Before I came aboard the company had recently updated all licenses to the 2018 format, soon after my license was installed. How do I get the company's custom settings on to my program. I have read several articles and forums regarding "migrate" and "Sync A360" but have been unsuccessful as of yet. It could be user error as I have not used AutoCAD for years. I would appreciate any help, thank you.

If you have your custom items isolated from the AutoCAD environment, then it's really easy.

Otherwise it's a royal pain, because you've either got to use the migration tool Autodesk provides and trust/hope that it does what you want, or you've got to manually parse your custom data out of the stock AutoCAD files (pgp, menu files, etc.).

It also depends on what exactly you mean by "custom settings". If that only means shortcuts in the PGP file, that is pretty easy. But if you mean tool palettes, custom menu entries, background color, command line font, autoloaded lisp files, templates, plot styles, etc. - then it gets a bit more complex.

I would suggest you look into isolating all of these things from the AutoCAD environment - keep them all in a single place, then when it comes time to make the next move, you know where it's all, and you can pick it all up and copy/move it in one easy step.
