How to share custom Image Trace Presets between users?

I don't see an option to "export" Image Trace Presets and cannot find them on disk. How can I make custom presets available to other users?

AI CC 2015, Mac

No success finding the "Vectorize Preset" folder/files. I set hidden files to be visible using Terminal. I've looked in:

/Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2015.3

and

/Users/rcraighead/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator 20

Guess I'll build the preset from scratch on 6 computers. So much for efficiency.


In CC2017 it's in Users/[Username]/Library/Preferences/Adobe lllustrator 21/[language]/

for PC users ( Adobe Illustrator CC 2018 )  :

You will find the file (Vectorizing Presets) in this location:

C:\Users\[USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator 22 Settings\en_AE\x64

There should be a file in your user folder in the preferences.

It's called: Vectorize Presets

Maybe you need to save a custom setting first.

Thanks, Monika. I've already made custom presets. Still not finding the "Vectorize Presets" folder. Are you on Mac? Can you copy the path?

Sorry, looks like they changed that.

I initially looked in Illustrator CC2017, because CC2015 is not on this machine.

On the other computer there is no Vectorize Presets file. Can you perhaps try and check if it is just hidden?

It's not in the preferences file either, but it must be stored somewhere.
