    Moving V26 to new computer

    So I purchased a second seat today so I can work on my laptop and my desktop machines and was wondering how to move the settings from one machine to the next. Is there an easy way copy all the settings from one install to an other?

    Thanks

    There's not really an Easy way. All the settings are stored in a few different places.

    Your shortcut assignments are here:

    C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V26\BobCAD26.MAC

    Your machine definition is here:

    C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V26\MachSim

    Your post processor is here:

    C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V26\Posts\Mill

    The tool database and holder and material information is here:

    C:\BobCAD-CAM Data\BobCAD-CAM V26\Technology

    And the interface layout and settings are a registry key located here:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bobcad-CAM\BobCAD V26

    All of these have to be copied over to the new install.....
