Exporting Workspaces with LISP

[support]

All:

Building upon Chad Franklin's AU presentation “CAD Manager’s Guide: Using Tool Palettes…” I have developed a System of Remotely Setting Up Standards on a CAD Workstations on an enterprise wide basis, that basically will let any CAD workstation, at any location in our company's 22 offices, or remote locations, be set up for any of our BU's and or Client standards at the press of a button located on a tool palette.  

The system maintains the individual users settings, while feeding the company standard into the profile(s), palettes, etc. being utilized by the user.  Utilizing a network location assigned to each user the program will also make the users customized profiles, tool palettes, and custom LISP routines available to the user on any CAD workstation anywhere in the company.

As our company at this time is not actually standardized, but operates under a multiplicity of standards, partial standards,  client preferences, and group partial standards, it has been quite a trick being able to assimilate all of this under a single application.  Obviously this is more of a beginning place than an end, and the actual goal is a single Unified set of Standards and Procedures across the company which also encompasses client standards.

I am providing this somewhat detailed background to add some context to my request and to answer the obvious question as to why not just use the CUI editor.

I now need to be able to automate the process of "Exporting" a user's Current Workspace out to a network drive location...  and of course automatically re-importing it from the network location on the other end.

I have to admit that I have hit an absolute dead end on doing this utilizing LISP...   If any LISP Gurus out there  have figured out how to do this I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

Thank You

@support  hi,

well, one way to do it is using profiles. a profile bundle all options settings plus the the workspace.

take a look at >> this link <<

Good Afternoon Moshe-A:

I appreciate the input.   I am already capturing and manipulating the Profiles via LISP, however the Profiles do not carry the CUI or workspace with them.  The workspace is "part of" the CUI and operates almost independently of the profile from what I understand of the relationship.

have you thought using Migrate Custom settings Export/Import

Perhaps consider a shell application that will copy the currently
employed CUIX from the target folder to a cloud location and
vice-versa?

If not mistaken, the WorkspaceRoot.cui section embedded in the
CUIX can be extracted as well? But there might be associations
that are declared inside (such as toolbar root) that must be fetched
as well. I personally would not go this route...

Have you seen inside the CUIX?
Use 7Z or equal to view the archive...
