In 4D you can export methods out to files. The files have the extension .c4d. These method files can be imported into other databases.

To export a certain method. Bring the method up. In the toolbar click on method->Export…
Save the file at desired location.

To import a method, create a new method. In the menubar click on method->import…
Select the method file to import.



Notes:

1. Method files can be imported into different 4D versions. If method exported from v14, it can be imported into v13, vice versa.


2. Imported methods are inserted to where cursor is at on the method editor. If any code is highlighted, they will be overwritten.


3. Changed commands: Command names that have changed over the versions will be converted in the version it is imported into.


4. New commands (new version to old version where command does not exist): command removed in older version. Parameters remain.


5. Obsolete commands (old to new version where command becomes obsolete): Replaced in new version with the obsolete version
   
   Example:
   v12: Set Web Timeout(60)
