Transferring personal settings to a second machine - How easy is that?

    Having made alterations to suit the way I work I now have another
    SolidWorks PC I sometimes use. It will take ages to go through all the
    options screens to make both PCs the same. Is there an equivilent to
    the 'normal.dot' file in Word that stores all of the preferences?

    If so, is it just a case of overwriting the existing default on the
    second PC?

    Thanks

    I think you can use the Copy Settings Wizard. (Start/All
    Programs/SolidWorks/SolidWorks Tools/Copy Settings Wizard)

    Jerry forgot to mention that when you run the Copy Settings Wizard
    that SolidWorks must be closed.

    Thanks Guys. I didn't know that you could do this so easily. I'll bet
    I wasn't the only one either!
