Pancake provides a simple tool enabling you to transfer file and settings more easily. ![](/files/-LMfJBN-z4VvVwZ_dI4j) ### How to use this feature? * Navigate to "Pancake" menu, click "Settings", "Transfer..." ### What can be transferred? * Pancake settings * Grasshopper settings * Core settings * Interface settings * Markov prediction database * Keyboard shortcuts * Saved gradients * Saved materials * User object information (such as default author, contact, etc) * Several miscellaneous settings * Grasshopper add-ons * Libraries, excluding those which are not installed under Grasshopper folder, such as Weaverbird * User objects ### Information under certain circumstances * Load a file exported by a higher version of Grasshopper * Settings of a higher version may rarely break Grasshopper. * You will receive a warning. If you choose not, Grasshopper-related things won't be touched. * Pancake's settings are not affected by the limitation. * Apply Grasshopper settings * In most cases, you need to restart Grasshopper and Rhino after a successful import. Otherwise, some settings may be overriden. * Some settings, including Markov database, keyboard shortcuts, are applied immediately. * Some settings are applied, but does not show in Grasshopper's settings. They will change after you restart Grasshopper. * Apply Grasshopper libraries * The tool is designed to deploy libraries onto a new Rhino/GH installation. So you may see an error if Pancake cannot override an add-on currently in use. * Transfer between Mac and Rhino * It is generally OK, given that version policy is satifisfied. If you encounter any problem, contact us. * Notice: Not all add-ons work on Mac ### What else should I also notice? * You can use this feature to transfer settings on a same computer, such as from GH0 to GH1. * "Read from" operation cannot be undone. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://makemove.gitbook.io/pancake/features/setting-transfer.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
