Spotlight lighting device parameters saved location??

[chstech]

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,

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:

Vectorworks 2016's Migration Manager would let you import your 2015 settings into 2016, yes.

Thank You Jim!!

going to try that now.

Is there a list of what it will backup?

- settings

- serial number

- ???

Thanks,

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.

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,
