Civil 3D custom assemblies migration

I exported my custom assemblies palettes.
I imported them to another machine.
I tried to enter them in a drawing. Nothing happened. Not a single message.

I found that custom assemblies are nothing else but drawings that include the assembly exported!

Palette xml code points to the AECCCONTENT_DIR of the current Civil 3D version where those drawings are stored.

So those drawings must be manually copied to the other machine or to the other AECCCONTENT_DIR .

A typical location of AECCCONTENT_DIR is set to directory C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\C3D 2016\enu\Assemblies\ ...

Damn! Too many actions for machine migration and even worse when version migration.
