Solved: Export User Profile in VBA

[seeking_help]

Hi all,

I am trying to write a macro that will auto export the current AutoCAD user profile to their personal drive. This will help for when someone gets a new computer so they will not have to search through folders to export -> import that profile to the new machine.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I have been searching this topic but most related topics are using Excel sheets rather than a user profile (which is stored in AutoCAD).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You may want to cross-post this in the Other Applications Help (http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=-1&f=22) section of the forum, since that seems to be where the AutoCad crowd hangs out. But, someone here might be able to help you find an answer!

Just be sure to read this (http://www.excelguru.ca/node/7) before cross posting.

Hmmmm so now I belong to the AutoCad crowd :devil2:

Hi seeking_help, I normally use the Files and Settings transfer wizard that is found in the accessories > system tools. I use this because it will pick up all of my settings and most of my files, the only issue is to have a shared network drive to make it easy. This will save the desktop settings and everything. :)

Thanks Tommy, I will keep that process in mind.

But is there a programmatic approach at doing this? I am trying to cut out steps on the whole process because we are doing a bit of rearranging and a lot of upgrading. Was not sure if it was possible to enter a command(ex. expprof) into AutoCAD that will export Current Profile to a personal folder for easier/faster completion. I know there is a way to swith current profiles using code.

If not the wizard sounds like a better process than export -> import searching through files.

Thanks again,
