The creators of LC Designer did a fantastic job of customizing LC operation through external setup files. As such, the custom components are saved in an XML file. All you have to do is copy this file to the other computer. If you put your custom components under their own category name you have an even better option. Each category gets it's own file. LC has a Master file that lists the folders where all the individual libraries are stored. You can put the components file on a shared drive and just set the folder in the master file. That way all machines on a local network share the same component library.

You'll find the built-in library files here:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Designer 9.0\EN\Objects

And the custom stuff you create here (on Win XP):
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\Designer\9.0\EN\Objects

Thanks Thom,
I see my cuystom objects now under EN\Objects.... that is because I have set in Options: English?
If I set to the second Language (DE) I can store Objects for this Language (DE)? And If I need a third Set for Another Language (R) I can create a Folder R and this Folder will be activated by......?


kind regards,

I'm not sure that it works exactly like that, i.e., that the language locations are automatically setup. I haven't completely explored the setup files for LCD. Nor have I found much in the way of official documentation, blogs, or articles that explain the setup. Look around a bit to see if there is an XML file that sets the language paths.
