The Copy Settings Wizard saves, restores, and propagates system settings to users, computers, or profiles.
When you select options for the SolidWorks software, those settings are saved in a registry file, and the software recognizes the settings from one release of SolidWorks to the next. For most users, no action is necessary to maintain their settings. However, you can use the Copy Settings Wizard to distribute settings.
You can Save or Restore system settings for:
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Menu customization
- System options
- Toolbar layout (All toolbars or Macro toolbar only)
You save settings to a file and then restore them to the following registries:
Profile |
Registry |
Current user
|
CURRENT_USER of current user
|
One or more network computers
|
LOCAL_MACHINE of selected computers
|
One or more roaming user profiles
|
CURRENT_USER of selected users
|
Only system administrators should copy settings to network computers or roaming user profiles. When you restore settings to network computers, the settings apply to new SolidWorks users on the specified computers. You can restore settings to roaming user profiles only if your company uses roaming user profiles.
