Mapexport to SHP

We’ve seen this a couple of times in the past couple of days.  It turns out that the Mapexport command (or Map pull down - Tools - Export) has a bit of a Fatal Error issue.  The Mapexport.ini file somehow is residing in the wrong folder and needs to be shifted for this command to work.  Autodesk has a Knowledge Base document on this on the easy fix for this issue.  Its just a little browsing.  They give you the path in XP, but for those of us in Vista the path is slightly different.  Just replace the paths they call out for these - the rest is the same.
