Split application settings import/export

[Bearded_Engineer]

Comming from SW years ago, I'm still missing an option to skip modifying all application settings and just importing for example only file paths. Users prefer to make their own adjustments for how the software responds, and right now it's all or nothing. You will have to redo everything if anything changes on the company-defined side of things, or have to adjust al those paths manually.

Split the export and import for example to each specific tab. Include EVERYTHING, so also custom color schemes etc. and move the iLogic settings also in there. (And move it to application settings instead of some half hidden seperate menu?!)  It should be easy to roll out settings and to pick what to import and what not.

This is 100% probably not officially supported, but you can modify the exported xml file. I've had success removing sections of the settings file that don't need changed. Below is an extreme example with only changing the projects path. 

I do agree more built in control for this would be good.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="no" ?>
<ApplicationOptions Platform="Vista" Version="30.1 Production Candidate">

  <!--Created by Autodesk Inventor Version 30.1 Production Candidate-->

  <!--The schema of this file is subject to change without notice and is not guaranteed to remain the same from one release to the next.-->

  <File ProjectsPath="%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Inventor2\" />

</ApplicationOptions>
