Moving Allegro and CIS Settings to New Version Installation

teevskis

This is probably a simple question for most, but I've had difficulty finding an answer in the Help documents or the forum: How do I move my (numerous) custom settings for Allegro and Design Entry CIS from my existing 16.6 installation to a new 17.2 installation?  I don't intend to keep the 16.6 installation, but I haven't removed it yet because I don't want to lose my settings.  Help?

    Yes, just make sure that the Computer Environment Variable for HOME is set to the location (Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Environment Variables), then copy the cdssetup and pcbenv folders across.
