Export Artwork Control Form?

Is it possible to export a Artwork Control Form setup? I'm trying to avoid doing it manually.

Thanks

     File -> Export Parameters

     Select Artwork output and give it an output file name

    We have a new copy of OrCAD 17.2 PCB editor and I can't find File -> Export Parameters.  I don't even see an export option in the files drop down.  Please let me know what I'm missing.

    Thanks, Al

    Try Export - More - Color/Board Parameters or for this another method is in the artwork control form check the box for the films you want to reuse (don't usually bother with copper layers since they are automatically made) then right click on a film name and choose Save all checked. This writes a txt file out of the films. Open the new design and in the artwork control form use the Add button to browse for this txt file.

    Thanks, that was a big help.  Can a DXF map be saved?
