    Default Migration tool runs even after user has migrated settings

    I have a user in my company that is having a strange issue. When we installed AutoCAD 2007 and ran it for the first time, it started the migration tool and allowed the user to migrate his seetings. Now for the strange part. Three or four times a week, the migration tools pops up and runs again. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

    I am guessing here, but it sounds to me as if the migration tool has not finished runing. Every time it is clicked away, it is still not complete.

    Next time it comes up, run with it through to it's natural conclusion and it should go away as a problem.

    I'm sorry! I didn't explain that in my original post. The user did go through the complete migration process. However, it still runs when he starts AutoCAD.

    Ah-ha, then there will be some setting against your user's AutoCad launch icon. Look at the properties of the desktop icon and see if there are any settings there that are different to someone elses, who is not getting this effect.

    Well, I checked his setting and it looks like he is setup the same as everyone else.

    I've done a little research on this and it seems you are not th only person to have this problem.

    You will need to check your CUI code (yes, the actual code) for errors. Any error int he CUI code will cause the migration tools to fail, hence it is not completeing it's tasks (even though it says it is) and is pinging up every once in a while.

    If you have alot of customisations, then this will be a very laborious task.

    You may find more success by saving a custom MNU and importing that.
