export drafsight settings

export drafsight settings

(OP)
Is it possible to export the settings (preferences) so that I open up another draftsight on a different computer that will be set up with the same options and preferences ?

RE: export drafsight settings

Hi, first time poster here.  I realize this is an old thread but thought I might add something, since I just went thru this.  Exporting a profile, then importing it on another system will work as long as the systems are running the same operating systems, i.e. the directory structures are exactly the same.  I found this out by importing my linux draftsight profile, into a win xp installation.  Couldn't figure out why "Help" didn't work.  Started looking at the .xml file and noticed the path callout to /bob/home/..... and realized the problem.  It is possible to edit the .xml file (which I did) but then you realize that there are several path callouts to change, and as easy as it is to re-create the profile, it's best to do it that way.  In my case I have three profiles created linux, xp, and vista.  Hope this helps somebody else!

Regards
Bob
