I got a new machine and I wanted to move my Corel macros (or scripts) and all of my shortcut keys from my old machine to the new one.

Do I have to set them up again individually or can I just tranfer the files - and if I can transfer, where are the files?

Thanks...

I don't know if this will work for macros and shortcut keys but it does save the rest of a customized workspace:

Once you have tweaked, twiddled, and reset your work space the way you like it, save it. I have a directory on my computer called Default Settings and save copies of my user settings there.

To save Corel Draw User Toolbox:

Be sure hidden files are visible, then copy...

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Corel\GraphicsXX\User Workspace\CorelDRAWXX\_default

USERNAME is exactly that--your user name. The XX refers to the version of Corel that you have.

To restore Corel Draw User Toolbox, copy the above file from your saved location to the original spot. Your tool box will be restored.

Thanks David - I did that & it worked for the toolboxes but not the shortcut keys or macros. I'm pretty sure that I can figure out the macros...it's the shortcut keys that have me baffled.

BTW...What are you doing responding to a legitimate question with a legitimate answer instead of picking on that short guy from the south of you or someone else?

I know that I can say that 'cuz the guy with the ShopBot will never read this post.

Thanks again...

Try to save the existing Preferences file from the existing machine that has everything the way you want it and copy it into the new machine.

I have not tried this with Corel but have used this in the past with Adobe Products. You would think that the software companies would make and easy way to save a copy of these preferences in case you want it on multiple machines or incase you have to reinstall.

I had this same problem a few months ago. On your old computer open the Graphic & Text Styles docker window in Corel. Right click/template/save as. Save the template to a flash drive. Copy the template to My Documents on your new computer. Right click/template/load on the Graphic & Text docker in Corel on your new computer and install the template from My Documents. This worked for me to restore my hotkeys.

Thanks for the replies guys...

I went to the Corel forum and here's the reply I got. It's a little cryptic, but it worked!

http://coreldraw.com/forums/p/12396/51131.aspx#51131

Go to OPTIONS...

Make sure that you have the top (WORKSPACE) highlighted. on the right it has an EXPORT option.

Select that and save it somewhere (I'm on a network so I didn't have to thumb-drive it).

Go to the new computer and OPTIONS-WORRKSPACE IMPORT.

Good to go!

I must be falling down on the job. I haven't dissed anyone from either side of the border today. I'll try not to let it happen again.
