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

■ (Windows XP) Click Start menu ➤ Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤
