MAX UI help

[Nejc Kilar]

Hey guys, I am in a pickle and I would sure appreciate some help :)

I have just bought a new workstation pc and just as I've set everything up... BAAM(!), I remember I forgot to save my Max UI files!

Luckily I am using the same HDD in my new workstation too, unformated and all but the problem I am having now is that even if I copy and paste the entire EN-US/UI folder into my new Max installation I don't get all of my custom interface back - I get a few toolbars, some settings here and there but no keyboard shortcurts, missing toolbars and no window memory...

Does anyone know if there is a chance to save my old defaults from eternal doom? Thanks in advance!

Maybe you should try to recover this folder:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Autodesk\3dsMaxDesign\2015-64\ENU

Just replace the new one with the one from your old HDD!

Maybe the path differs a bit ;)

Indeed, that's just what I figured out!

I was essentially saving my profile as the default max one (as I had some difficulties understanding how the customize settings work) and that apparently saved into the folder you mentioned. Unfortunately I did delete that particular folder so I had to set up my shortcuts all over again - which was fun actually :)

Thanks for helping tobiasweisercg, much so considering this is your first post. I trully owe you one buddy! ;)
