Export and Import Custom Settings from the Same
Release
You can export your custom settings between systems running the same release
of an AutoCAD product, or export the custom settings and later re-import
them on the same computer if you need to reinstall AutoCAD.
When exporting custom settings, a transfer package is created that contains
an XML file. This file contains custom settings, a listing of the custom files
from local locations used with AutoCAD, and optionally, custom files in
network locations.
The transfer package is a ZIP file archive, so it has the file extension ZIP. During
the import process, you select the ZIP file archive that contains the exported
custom settings you want to merge onto your computer.
