I am fairly new to using mid's hero designer and wanted to see if anyone could help me by letting me know how I can transfer my current builds in the game into the program? Also I hear a lot about stripping characters of their enhancement sets, how is this possible? Please help!

Thanks in advance!

You don't transfer anything, unless you mean loading/importing files. You have to start from scratch.

You can strip enhancements from a build ten at a time by respecing multiple times...if that's your thing.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

To get builds into/out of Mids you have to do it manually (Most likely by Alt + Tabbing between the game and Mids)

To strip characters of enhancements you need to respec and put the enhancements you want to take out into your enhancement tray, but as it was never intended for characters to take out enhancements it isn't easy (You can only take out 10 enhancements per respec)

As others have said, you can't do this in any automated way. People simply print out, alt-tab or otherwise have their Mid's build available for reference as they go through a respec or while leveling up the character.

It's not possible in the sense it sounds like you mean. What people are talking about is running one or more respecs and removing up to 10 enhancements at a time (10 being the number you can preserve in your enhancement tray). As mentioned, the devs have said that they wouldn't mind if we were unable to keep any enhancements after a respec but still let us keep 10, hinting strongly that we shouldn't expect that to become any easier in the near future.
