Package and Transfer Abbreviation Macros into the New Laptop

Is there any easy way to transfer the code snippets ( Abbreviation Macros) from my Old Laptop to the new one ?

There are around 100 of them and manually copying them means a lot of manual work.

SAS EG Version : 7.15 HF8 (7.100.5.6214) (64-bit)

Thank you

Hello @r_behata,

I normally don't use Enterprise Guide, but I think that it's basically the same procedure as with the classic Display Manager interface, i.e., exporting and importing a .kmf file. Using SAS EG 7.15 HF4 (7.100.5.6158) (64-bit) I've just exported and re-imported a couple of test abbreviations in this way. From the EG main menu (on the old laptop) go to Program --> Editor Macros --> Macros, select all macros to be exported and click "Export..." to create the .kmf file in a location of your choice. Similarly, use the "Import..." button of the same dialog window on the new laptop to locate the copied .kmf file.
