Import Custom Settings
By importing a transfer package, you can configure AutoCAD in the same way
as other computers that are running the same release of the product.
Upon the successful import of the transfer package, a message box is displayed
giving you the option of viewing the migration log that is created. If any errors
are encountered during the import process, they are logged in the migration
log.
If files from a network location were added during the creation of a transfer
package, the files are copied to a different location only when the original
network locations are not available when importing a transfer package. If the
files from a network location are found in the same location on the network,
the files are not copied to the network location and are ignored during import.
During the import process, if the user profile <<Unnamed Profile>> exists, the
user profile is automatically backed up before the transfer package is imported.
Local paths that exist as part of a user profile in a transfer package are created
automatically during the import process, but paths that are on a network drive
or a drive that uses removable discs, are not created automatically.
NOTE You must start AutoCAD at least once before you can import a transfer
package.
