another element ID manager issue

maybe somebody can help this time. i have a list of rules set up for the element ID manager, they are saved under a name that i choose. when i give the project to someone else to work on (it is taken to another computer) and they want to go and re-id the windows, the ID criteria that i set up is not there, and i can't seem to find any way to load it?

i have been able to transport my schedule settings by copying and assigning a settings folder... is there anything like this for the element ID manager settings?

Yes, but undocumented (of course!). Just tracked it down for you. If you are using Windows, you will find the settings in a folder named EIDM located at:

c:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Graphisoft\EIDM

Presumably you can just copy that to the corresponding location on the other machine (and user account).

I've added a wishlist item that this be managed more effectively. Please go vote at:
