I've moved machines and can't find some of my files. Where would they be located?

I have transferred my Zemax files to another machine but can't find any of the NOT or ELE files that I had saved. If I need to manually transfer them from the old machine, where can I find them?

Best answer by Allie

All NOT files will be located in the {Zemax data}\Miscellaneous folder. If you transferred your Zemax folder between machines, then your NOT files should still be there!

Element drawing (ELE) files may be stored anywhere. Typically, they are saved in the same location as the lens file you're working on.

For help in finding other files, we provide a comprehensive list of file extensions and their locations here: "Zemax file extensions".
