Back up material favorites?

Unread post by Uncle_Hairball »

Is it possible to back up my material favorites? It is quite frustrating to have to recreate the list every time I reinstall.

in the digging I have done, it looks like it can only be saved by copying a reg key.

Here is one example:

He doesn't mention the reg key though. So I am not sure.

I haven't tested this, but it looks like this is it.

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SolidWorks\Solidworks 202X\Material
