Ok, I have searched the forum using a bunch of combinations but can't find one that has this info..

SO,
Basically what I need to know is if there is a way to Export ALL toolbar settings/layout from my old computer to my brand new one?
I spent a ton of time tweaking the interface to get it just the way I like it and REALLY dont want to spend hours duplicating it all over!

I know you can export "Customer Defaults" which I have done already, but this does nothing for the layout of the toolbars.

Is there a Registry tree I can mirror over to the new computer?

Any help would be awesome.

You'll be wanting the USER.MTX file from this folder ...

C:\Documents and Settings\'username'\Local Settings\Application Data\unigraphics solutions\NX6
 
There are files with a "rws" suffix that you should be able to copy to your new computer.
I think it would be safe to say to copy all the files with that suffix (located in C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 6.0\UGII\menus) to the new computer, but I am really not certain that it would be correct.
 
In NX5, to copy NX toolbar configuration from one computer to another, copy the following file from the configured computer to the destination computer.

C:\Documents and Settings\scooper\nx5_config_user\user.mtx

Perhaps, this works the same in NX6.
 
Opps, I apologize, replace the 'username' with your own!

C:\Documents and Settings\'username'\nx5_config_user\user.mtx
 
I guess we shouldn't ask how you came by the username 'scooper', eh? Unless of course it stands for 'S. Cooper', but you have to admit that is that's the case, it's still a rather interesting happenstance ;-)

A much better username than what Brad Utthead ended up with!
