First of all you need to pre-configure your modeling tool. Do the following:

  1. Check if you have the permission to write to the software installation folder because all information that you change will be stored in this folder. If you do not have the permission to write, contact your system administrator.
  2. In magicdraw.properties or cea.properties or csm.properties, which is in \bin, set the parameter value:
    JAVA_ARGS=-DLOCALCONFIG\=false -DWINCONFIG\=false
  3. Run the modeling tool and set desired options, then close the program.
  4. Reopen magicdraw.properties or cea.properties or csm.properties and restore the parameter value JAVA_ARGS=-DLOCALCONFIG\=true and remove the parameter -DWINCONFIG\=false.
  5. Copy the installation folder and paste it on a new machine.

Let us explain the difference between changed parameter values:

a) If JAVA_ARGS=-DLOCALCONFIG\=true, then option settings are stored in \.magicdraw\ . Options are loaded in the following order:

  1. From <Common Application Data location>\.magicdraw or .cameo.enterprise.architecture or cameo.systems.modeler\
  2. From the modeling tool installation folder

b) If JAVA_ARGS=-DLOCALCONFIG\=false -DWINCONFIG\=false, then option settings are stored only in the modeling tool installation folder and are loaded from there.
