Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

(OP)
Does anyone know how to copy my settings to the new version of ACAD.

I know how to copy my settings from one computer to another, but how to translate that to the new version of ACAD.

Is there any chance to do that?

RE: Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

(OP)
I need this, because I have a lot of my personal commands that I made. They are very usefull for me, and I spent a lot of time to make them. So it would be great if I don't have to make them all over again

RE: Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

ercegs,

I don't remember how to export the settings of Autocad R14.

ADT 2004

RE: Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

need more details,

which versions of Acad, from & to?

what kind of commands?

depending on versions, you may only want to "copy" certain routines

RE: Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

(OP)
I'm exporting from 2007 to 2009. I have a couple of toolbars containing both lsp & macro commands.  

RE: Copy my settings to new version of ACAD

leave 2007 on machine, install 2009

2009 will detect 2007 customization and prompt you to use these settings for the new 2009 install

some older commands may not work, see if old command has been replaced with New

double check support paths on new install
