Copy Settings Wizard Tool in SOLIDWORKS

dateAugust 31, 2021

From SOLIDWORKS 2023 version onwards is called "SOLIDWORKS Settings Wizard".

Are you upgrading your SOLIDWORKS to a later version as a new installation? Or perhaps creating a new installation in your new computer to use SOLIDWORKS?

Waiting for an installation to complete can sometimes feel like an eternity. After it is completed successfully, you just feel like getting straight back into using the software.

However, if you are one who likes to customize your own user interface, experience and settings, you will quickly feel out of sync with the SOLIDWORKS default settings.

You probably spent time in the past to customize your layout, shortcuts and settings. Therefore, instead of repeating these processes all over again inside the new application, you can take advantage of the “Copy Settings Wizard” Tool in SOLIDWORKS.

Introduced since the year 2005, this wizard will help you to transfer your settings to another SOLIDWORKS application in a matter of minutes.
