Want to 'CLONE' Charts from PC to Laptop - HOWTO?

I wish to copy the existing charts from my PC to my laptop. When I copy the .cht files, none of the drawings appear to come with it. Is there an "export" function of some sort, and if not, what else do I need to cp besides the .cht file?

As far as settings that doesn't seem to be coming along either - for example, I have the DOM on the chart on my PC, but the same chart on the laptop does not display it.

I would like an EXACT mirror image with identical settings, studies, and behavior transferred from PC to laptop. I have hours of work in on these charts and I don't want to have to manually redo all of them, even if I could begin to remember what I need, LOL.


Thanks

, none of the drawings appear to come with it.
Drawings must be included. Maybe you need to enable the option to show drawings for different symbols.

This is true for everything else about the charts when you copy the Chartbook. The only things that might be different are the Graphics Settings, if you have these different between the two systems, and if your charts are using the Global Graphics Settings. Otherwise, you should be getting everything the same.

Another consideration is the size of the screen you are using. It is possible that if you are going to smaller screen that some of the charts are off the visible area. You would have to find them and move them as needed.
