If you are a user that likes to fully customize their IronCAD experience with Shortcuts, Ribbon Bars, Etc, and don’t like having to set up the shortcuts between each version, there are ways to bring your settings with you to the new version. In the example below, we will be transferring from 2018 to 2019, so we will copy the XML files located at:

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\IronCAD\IRONCAD\20.0\Customization

 to the new location at:

 C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\IronCAD\IRONCAD\21.0\Customization

After doing so, you will need to edit the all the files using notepad and replace the text that says:

IRONCAD20 (or your current version)

To: IRONCAD21 (or whatever the newest version is)

(Use Ctrl + F to find the Text within the File)

Save the XML file Repeat this for all the files you moved. Your settings should be there for you in the new version of IronCAD. 

Note: New commands added in the new version of the product will not be available in your older files. You can perform a document compare using standard text compare software to locate the new commands added to add them to your older files. This can give you the latest XML's with your customizations!
