I have a user of AutoCAD Architecture 2013 for whom I need to uninstall and re-install AutoCAD 2013 Architecture. I do not know much about CAD but I do know that each user sets up things (views, toolbars, etc) to their own preference. I want to make sure these settings for this user are not lost when I do the uninstall/reinstaall. Can someone please help me with the steps on how to save user settings and then restore them again after a fresh install? Very much apprecitated- thanks! John

 Hello
Johnhickey, I have this ( if applicable to your AC2013 ).
Sorry it's in french but I'm sure that you will understand everything.
1st you export the parameters to be saved in a directory that you will define.
Then when you have your new PC, you export the same parameters towards the new PC.
