Export and Import Custom Settings from the Same
Release

You can export your custom settings between systems running the same release
of an AutoCAD product, or export the custom settings and later re-import
them on the same computer if you need to reinstall AutoCAD. When exporting
custom settings, a migration package is created that contains an XML file.
This file contains custom settings, a listing of the custom files from local
locations used with AutoCAD, and optionally, custom files in network
locations.
The migration package is a ZIP file archive, so it has the file extension ZIP.
During the import process, you select the ZIP file archive that contains the
exported custom settings you want to merge onto your computer.
