in Importing and exporting files

I'm looking for a way to transfer all settings, hatches, CUI, shortcuts, etc. from one device onto another. Is there an option to do this?

    Do you mean like in Autocad \tools\options\export profile? This saves all Autocad settings as an *ARG file that can be loaded into a new install. As your post was dated October 2020 I assume you worked a way to do this in BricsCAD?
    Because I have been trying to find this myself - I want to put BricsCAD onto my laptop with all my settings, rather than have to do it manually, but so far I have found nothing.

    When upgrading etc you have a blank CAD so we used lisp to do what you want had 2 versions laptop and desktop/server, oh yeah laptop/server was created by having 2 Cad icons on desktop remote or office.

    The program set all the paths, loaded menu's etc The most recent installs a zip full of code etc to a known directory I use that to send to clients. You can unzip a file via lisp. If you put your autoloads into a mnl it will load all your shortcuts. I was looking for add to start up suite. Each user had a script with their toolbar selection did that last.

    The other way is make a Bundle read Acad or in this case for Bricscad slightly different way has been discussed. I have not done one yet.
