Moving processes from one computer to a new computer

I just got a new computer and I want to get my saved processes off my prior computer to use on the new computer. How do I do that, as I don't see a separate folder for them in the Simplify3d file folder

Re: Moving processes from one computer to a new computer

To migrate your profiles, follow these steps from your old computer:

For Mac:
Navigate to the filepath:
/Users/$USER/Library/Application\Support/Simplify3D/S3D-Software-V5/Profiles

If you don't see the folder, remember to press “Command” + “Shift” + “.” (period) to show hidden files.

Copy all the XML files in that directory to a separate location, then use File>Import Printer Profiles to import them.

For Windows, the file path would be:
C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Simplify3D\Profiles

You might need to show hidden files as well.
