Hi, Hoping to create win10 pc this next week (though finding time is like chasing end of rainbow) and one of the first progs to install will be Rhino V7. I need it to adopt the user settings I have over the years added to V5, my colours, display settings, viewport settings, grids, etc, also any cu…

Different versions of Rhino can all be installed on the same computer and do not interfere or interact with each other. Settings from an earlier version are never imported. Since each version of Rhino makes changes to Commands and command options, it’s not reasonable to expect to be able to import …

Hi, win10 happening next day or three, I hope ! rainbow chasing …I will follow the settings transfer and toolbar imports, it sounds like these will recreate the buttons I created and can I trust it deals with also the codes that they run ? I also see I plan on having V5 and V7 installed on win 10…

Hi, I am not installing V7 onto win 7 with v5 already running, I am removing C drive on its SSD and replacing with new SSD then installing win 10, then installing V5 and v7 and need to get back into those two, the buttons and dimensions they had, or at least v5 had. so will the backup methods I fol…

You cannot expect a 1:1 transfer of V5 stuff to V7, as many things have changed between the two. There are two basic sets of data - one is your options (display modes, color preferences etc.) and the other is your toolbar file (.rui). V5 stored the options data in the registry, so your only option…

[image] Helvetosaur: it will probably take you a day or so of work and maybe more I’ve just gone through all of this over the past few days. I’ve been using V5 for many years and the VSR licensing debacle forced me into a PC upgrade (and move to Windows 11) in a hurry. I’ve got upgrade licens…
