Transfering ArcGIS custom symbology to another machine


I created custom symbols on my PC at home using:


Layer Properties dialog box > Symbology tab > Advanced > Rotation


Now I want to transfer the symbology settings to another machine on campus.



How can I do this?


I can't locate a file which contains the setting.



Answer



If you want the symbols separately as a style reference then access the pc have intended symbols and go to "C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\Roaming\ESRI\Desktop10.1\ArcMap". There you will find USER_NAME.style. Copy this file and paste in the location "C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\Styles" of the new pc.


style


N.B. In fact, if .style file extension is changed to .mdb then it is an ms access databse where you can change the properties of symbols.
