When I had similar issues a while back I found this- (Bitflipper to the rescue! Post 1
http://forum.cakewalk.com/tm.aspx?high=&m=1887490&mpage=1#1889838 It also depends how (where) you save them as some have two methods- the plug's own (easily found in its folder), and Cake's in the reg.
Also this-
"Save-export Sonar plugin presets
There IS a way to backup your plugin presets, and you put the backups anywhere you want.
Open the plugin manager, and select one of the categories of plugins (left pane.)
On a per-plugin basis, it works like this:
Click on a plugin that has presets (middle pane) and right under that pane, where it says Cakewalk Plug-in Presets, it will display the number of presets it's found for that plugin.
If you click the Manage button, you can actually see the individual plugins and rename them.
Click the Export button, and you can save all of the presets for that plugin in a single file, with an .spp extension, anywhere you want. Give the file a name that clearly identifies the plugin -- the names of the individual presets aren't an issue; names are saved with the other params in the spp/
To reload those presets, you click Import, find the spp file, an ddouble lick it to open it. The presets will be assigned to the proper plugin; there is no need to select the plugin first, as presets can only be assigned to the plugin they belong to.
You can also save presets for multiple plugins within a category (e.g., VST Audio Effects) by choosing the category, and then selecting all of the presets in that category (using regular Windows multi-select methods.) The total number of presets found for the selected plugins will be displayed (although the Manage button will be grayed out.)
You can then Export all of these in a single file. As above, when you Import that file the presets will be assigned to the appropriate plugin.
You do this for all of the plugin categories -- there doesn't seem to be a way to do a single multi-cat/multi-plug Export.
The location of plugin layouts is set on the Options-Global-Folders page. You can set locations for other things you might want to save as well, e.g., Template, Drum Maps, and so on. I've set most of those to use the same Template folder, which I store under my main Project folder, so everything is together. Like I said in a previous post, I try to avoid putting anything on that's actually "mine" on the c: drive. "
