MIGRATION TO 2020

We are running 2018 - i have just downloaded 2020 and wondered if anybody could help with clear guide as to the best way to migrate from 2018 to 2020,  I ideally would like the exact set up I am used too in 2018 - including colour scheme, quick access toolbar - customised main tab etc . I have migrated before - but not sure exactly what is transferable and what you have to configure yourself - the last time i did it was x9- 2018 and dont think 'workspace' is now relevant or if there is a migration wizard. I plan to do a step by step guide for myself for future upgrades - but would welcome an initial guide to point me in the right direction as to what is easy to 'import' settings wise from 2018 and what is not so easy . Any guidance from  users who are used to changing would be most welcome.

I have only gone from one version to the next (2017 to 2018, 2018 to 2019, etc.) but the migration wizard has always worked fine for me.  

 

It is located in File > Convert

 

If you select advanced migration, you will have the opportunity to select the location your source files (mymcam2018 and shared mcam2018) and Mastercam should handle the rest. 

 

edit:  This will (should) bring over your current colors, quick access toolbar, tabs, everything.

once you install mastercam 2020 go into your start menu, then click on the mastercam 2020 folder and look in there for the Transition Guide.pdf

Page 6 of the transition Guide PDF will show step by step on using the migration wizard to update resource files to 2020 (posts, tool libs, etc.)
