Exporting Tool Configuation

Recommended Posts

 I run Chief on three computers (one at a time), I find myself adding tools I use all the time and remove the ones I never or seldom use. Make changes to program defaults (not plan specific).  Is there a way to sink the three computers so each has the same tool bars and Program defaults etc., for instance, Preferences.  Currently I keep a list of changes I make and update those changes when switching from computer to computer. I'm aware of all the exporting item, Default Sets, layer sets, etc.,etc.. 

Thanks much for any suggestions.

Folder and file paths are found in the Preferences menu:

On the computer with the custom toolbars and preferences you want copied, find and copy those folders to the other computers.

 

You might want to keep the original folders in case something goes south, but this works for me.

Yup, that'll work. Oh yeah, always keep a copy of the originals.
