How to distribute a customized Parts Database Manager layout to other users?
Open Parts Database Manager on the workstation on which the layout has been customized.
Click the Customize Layout button on the upper right.
On the resulting Customization box, click the floppy disk icon.
On the Save As dialog choose a convenient destination folder and enter a value for "File name".
Click the Save button.
Send the .XML file that is created to the other users, or make it available in a shared location.
The other users select Parts Database Manager > Customize Layout > Load then browse to the .XML file to import the customized layout. Consider saving the active layout before loading another.
Use regedit to export the registry key appropriate for the application:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\promis-e V8i(M)\DEditPartDatabase
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\promis-e V8i(A)\DEditPartDatabase
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Bentley\Substation V8i\DEditPartDatabase
Make the resulting .REG file available to the other users.
The other users double click the .REG file to import the layout.
