AutoCAD manually transfer settings

AutoCAD manually transfer settings from one computer to another so settings look exactly the same.
 
Also you and go to start menu > all programs > Autodesk > AutoCAD version  > Migrate Custom Settings and export and import settings.
 
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Autodesk\AutoCAD 2017 - English\Migrate Custom Settings\Export AutoCAD 2017 Settings.lnk"

How to manually transfer AutoCAD user settings

Issue:
You would like to know how to manually transfer your
AutoCAD settings to another user account or to another computer. This
process can be used to apply working settings to a user account that is
unable to initialize AutoCAD due to a redirected profile folder or a
similar environment being in place.

Solution:

User
settings in AutoCAD for Windows are stored in two folders and a
registry path (in AutoCAD for Mac, see the link referenced below). After
setting up AutoCAD how you would like it to be configured, or at least
run the program once to make sure it works and has gone through its
secondary installer process, follow these steps to copy over the
settings to another account or computer:
  1. Exit out of AutoCAD 20xx.

  2. Make a copy of the following two folders in a location accessible by all user accounts:
    For Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10:

    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx
    C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx
    For Windows XP:

    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Autodesk\AutoCAD 20xx Note: These paths contain hidden folders. You must turn on "show hidden files" in Folder Options to see them.

  3. Export a copy of the AutoCAD registry key:


    1. Hit WINDOWS-R on the keyboard to bring up the Run window, enter REGEDIT and click OK.

    2. Find the following registry key:

      HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\AutoCAD\Rxx.x\ACAD-xxxx:40x

      This
      path is unique for each version of AutoCAD. You can see which
      'ACAD-xxxx' refers to by selecting it and then looking at the keys on
      the right side of the Registry Editor. One of the keys will show the
      install path to the AutoCAD it applies to. The '40x' number signifies
      the language version of AutoCAD.


    3. Right-click the 'ACAD-xxxx:40x' folder and choose Export.

    4. Enter a file name of your choice, choose a location to save the file, and then click Save.

    5. Close the Registry Editor.

  4. Open the .reg
    file in Notepad and do a find/replace for the user account name to make
    sure the destination user name will be used where needed.


  5. Log in to the destination user account.

  6. Copy over the two folders to their respective locations.

  7. Double-click the .reg file to apply it to the registry. The .reg file can be deleted after use unless you wish to use it again.
