is there a way to centralize all these components across a studio? I am getting a bit mad copy pasting export and python stuff across all my machines.

easy as to symlink the required folders to a nas location or does it need something special?

ok i am stupid

You will want to run 2025.1 to make it even easier.

> ## Using the Same File for all Application Versions
> 
> There are two methods for using a single sysconfig.cfg file for every version of the application on a workstation. In both cases, new features added to the sysconfig.cfg file in future versions will have to be manually added to the centralised sysconfig.cfg file as it won’t be automatically updated by a new application version installation. These methods are:
> 
> - Save a sysconfig.cfg file directly in the `/opt/autodesk/cfg` directory. This file takes precedence over the file located in the `/opt/Autodesk/cfg/.<version>` directory.
> - Set the DL\_SYSCONFIG\_FILE environment variable to a centralised sysconfig.cfg file path.
