How to retain NX 8.5 to 9 user profile settings

How to retain NX 8.5 to 9 user profile settings

How to retain NX 8.5 to 9 user profile settings

(OP)
I was recently upgraded from NX 8.5 to NX 9, and I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to copy my customizations from NX 8.5 to my NX 9 user profile.
Last time I had to upgrade and wanted to save my settings (when moving from NX 7 to 8.5) I just copied and pasted my .mtx and .pax files from the NX 7 folder to the NX 8.5 folder created at this file path:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Unigraphics Solutions\NX85

However, now I'm not seeing an NX 9 folder at the same file path. There IS a folder here titled only "NX" (Not NX 9, like the previous convention: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Unigraphics Solutions\NX) but pasting my settings in there doesn't appear to have had any effect. Is there a new location I should be looking for to copy my profile settings, or does NX 9 not allow settings to be carried over in the same manner as previous revisions to NX?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Look in:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Siemens\NX90

That did it! Thanks so much, I thought I was going to spend all morning fixing my user preferences. Now I'm back in business.
