Re: Transfer configuration from Windows to MAC ?
In what sense? You are in the install compile forum so speaking about configuration could be not clear, as one of the passage to compile a source is called "configure".

Re: Transfer configuration from Windows to MAC ?
This is easily possible: You can copy from %APPDATA%\FreeCAD the config file user.cfg to <yourHomeDirectory>/Library/Preferences/FreeCAD/ on the Mac. There is probably also a Mod directory in %APPDATA%\FreeCAD which contains the installed Addons. Copy it to <yourHomeDirectory>/Library/Application Support/FreeCAD.

I recommend inspecting the cfg file with a text editor and removing all references to windows paths as some stuff is stored in the config and can mess up things in your other system, for example the macro directory is for some reason stored in preferences, also some techdraw stuff and I can't remember what other things
