Copy Settings?

[tongy66086]

Is there a way to copy my settings from a computer I had to a computer that IT says I need?
I use Inventor 2014 and a space pilot pro.
I installed the space pilot pro on my new computer, and none of my buttons are working.
Is there a way to copy my settings from my old computer and install on my new?
What do I need to do to get my space pilot to work with Inventor?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The 3Dconnexion button mappings are saved as .scg files. These are text format files where device settings and button mappings for most applications are stored. A few applications also store button mapping information in the registry.
Configurations for your 3Dconnexion device are located in these two places. Location 1 is the filesystem location for the various operating systems and Location 2 is the Windows registry location.


1.WinXp
C: --> Documents and Settings --> [Username] --> Application Data --> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

Vista :
C: --> Users --> [Username] --> AppData --> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

Windows 7 :

C: --> Users --> [Username] --> AppData -->Roaming---> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

2: HKEY_CURRENT_USER --> Software --> 3Dconnexion --> ...



To transfer the configurations to another PC.

1: Copy .scg files to:
WinXP
C: --> Documents and Settings --> [Username] --> Application Data --> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

Vista
C: --> Users --> [Username] --> AppData --> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

Windows 7


C: --> Users --> [Username] --> AppData -->Roaming---> 3Dconnexion --> 3DxWare --> profiles

2: Export the registry key from the old profile and import it into new one.

As always, remember to backup your registry before making any changes. You can make backup copies of the .scg files or use them to transfer settings to a new PC, however,they will only be of use to transfer to a new PC using the same operating system as your old system. Transferring configuration files from XP to Windows 7 does not work correctly due to the differences in security between the 2 operating systems.

To find out which .scg file your application is using, hover over the 3Dx SystemTray icon with your standard mouse while the application has the device focus. The profile name is listed along with the .scg filename in parenthesis - i.e GoogleEarth - uname(user05.scg)

Thank you very much for your help.
All seems to be working correctly now.
