I have F/X CAD and Land F/X installed on my laptop and desktop. I usually have the laptop linked to my server so that I can work remotely in the office or outside on a nice day. All within my WiFi range and network. I occasionally change the laptop so that I can use it outside my network and I guess that I never changed it back. In doing this I have saved blocks, hatches, etc. to the support location on the laptop rather than having it on my server. Is there a way to merge the two support location folders without causing a hiccup in the database?
Short answer, Yes.
Medium answer, there is no "Easy button" to merge all such content.
Long answer, you can certainly overwrite anything on the server with what is on your laptop. But merging will be more challenging. Blocks are the easiest, you can simply copy those over. For hatches, you can bring over the contents of the Hatch folder, but that will overwrite what is there currently.
Looking forward, there will be an easy button, hopefully by the end of the year! So that will hopefully bring some comfort as you are pouring over folder by folder, hatch library by hatch library.

Thanks Jeremiah, stupid mistake on my part. Block are the most important to me since they would be time consuming to resave.

This is good news. I like the idea of an "Easy" button. Right now we have a few offices that we're trying to integrate into one larger group. Eventually we would like to get our LandFX folder on a shared cloud server (Probably Microsoft OneDrive). Fortunately, it's not going to happen before you get your "Easy" button.
