chstech Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 i am a user on multiple machines, i have modified and saved my Spotlight lighting device parameters... but i don't know where to find that file to transfer or load it into my laptop or work computer. Haven't found much info as to where the file is saved, a little frustrating. The next question is either or not it will transfer to VW2016 VW2105 SP4 Mac 10.9 & 10.10 Thanks, Drew Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 1, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 1, 2015 This article is designed to show you how to back the setting up, but in your case you would just be copying them to the other computer: http://kbase.vectorworks.net/questions/885/Backing+Up+Vectorworks+Preferences Vectorworks 2016's Migration Manager would let you import your 2015 settings into 2016, yes.

chstech Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thank You Jim!! going to try that now. Is there a list of what it will backup? - settings - serial number - ??? Thanks, Drew Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted October 1, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted October 1, 2015 Not serial number, but it will back up anything you've stored in the user folder. Workspaces and VW preferences are stored here, but if you store your templates and such in the Application folder or elsewhere, you'll have to bring those over to the new machine as well.

chstech Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Thank you again, Laptop is happy! if i want to copy my custom layout for lighting device parameters to another user, how do i add just that item? I keep a copy on Dropbox of my workspace so if i use a different computer i am able to still have my custom workspace and keystrokes. Thanks, Drew Quote Link to comment
