Is there a way to export and save MS settings sim to Acad options?
I temp lost the Function keys. Retreived by purging copies but a big scare for me. Doubt if I can function w/o my side button f keys.

There is an import / export .exe for AutoCAD to import or export your settings. In your situation it would be simpler to "Reset Settings to Default"
Derp, misread the question

If you are reinstalling the same version of MicroStation or want to backup / restore your user preferences file, you can follow the steps here below:
To backup you User Preference File:
1. Open MicroStation with any file and open the Key-in panel (Utilities->key-in)
2. Type the following string in MicroStation’s key-in panel and press enter:
$ % explorer $(_USTN_HOMEPREFS)
This will open your user preferences folder in windows explorer
3. Copy the required .upf file(s) - there will be one for each MicroStation User - file in your backup folder.
To restore your User Preference File:
1. Open MicroStation with any file and open the Key-in panel (Utilities->key-in)
2. Type the following string in MicroStation’s key-in panel and press enter:
$ % explorer $(_USTN_HOMEPREFS)
This will open your user preferences folder in windows explorer
3. Close MicroStation but keep the windows explorer window open
4. Copy the backed up .upf file in the above folder, overwriting the existing copy
NOTE: if you are restoring a .upf file for a custom MicroStation user (different from the "untitled" and "examples" that are delivered with the application) after a MicroStation reinstall, you will need to make sure that the corresponding user configuration file (.ucf file) is present in the correct "Users" folder.

Microstation sounds like a horribly unpolished product. :wideeyed2:
