I have made some customizations to the interface in STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition. When I install a newer version of STAAD.Pro CONNECT edition, how can I ensure that those customizations are retained ?
During the installation of a newer version STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition, the installer keeps a backup of your earlier settings and these are kept within a folder named "Backup_xxxx...". This folder contain those files that have changed due to your customization. You will be notified of this backup folder during the installation itself.
Once the installation finishes, you may copy these files from within the "Backup_xxx..." folder and replace the ones with the same name within the C:\Users\<your_user_name>\AppData\Local\Bentley\Engineering\STAAD.Pro CONNECT Edition\Default folder and that would allow you to retain any customization from the past.
<your_user_name> would be your windows user name. For example for a user named John Smith, it could be John.Smith
