How to transfer local settings to a new PC

[Mitch]

We just got new PCs. We keep the .eap projects in source control, so I can open the EA project. However, the source code paths are different on the new PC so I can no longer do any code engineering.

We were using the Local_Paths feature, so (theoretically) I just need to update the definitions for the local paths. Right? Is there anyway I can transfer the old local paths from my old PC to my new PC.

I'd like to transfer my code gen templates.

Thanks

Quite a bit of manual work: see Tools/Export Reference Data

Good news and bad news.

Good news: It didn't seem like a lot of work (unless I'm missing something: 1) On old PC export all to an XML file. 2) On new PC, I imported that xml file.

Bad news: I still don't have local paths on my new PC. Nor code templates.

I guess I'll have to recreate the local paths manually. Also cut and past the code templates. Now this will be a real pain.

In the EA program folder there's a file paths.txt. That's where they save them. Don't know why they save some of the settings in the registry and some in files; probably for historical reasons.
