Export Custom Settings
When exporting custom settings, the custom files stored locally and all user
profiles are exported to a migration package. You have the option to include
custom files that are stored in network locations. During the creation of the
migration package, you do not have any control over which types of files are
included in the migration package.
The Export Custom Settings dialog box is used to create the migration package
so it can be imported to another computer or the same computer running the
same release of the product.
NOTE You must launch AutoCAD at least once before you can export custom
settings to a migration package.
