We spend a lot of time creating a screenlayout and buttongrids. The screenlayout we can export/import through a button on the screenlayout designer app; an export is created in xml.

Data export/import framework should work well for Button grids. Did you try to use it?

Thank you for submitting this. It's true that the Button Grid designer does not have an import/export function, but it is possible to export button grids using the Data Management Framework in Commerce Headquarters. This blog post explains how to export and import screen layouts: https://community.dynamics.com/ax/b/dynamicsnotes/posts/move-pos-screen-layouts-from-one-environment-to-another. Disclaimer: the process is incomplete for exporting complete screen layouts, but it can effectively be used to export and import button grids as well as other data entities.
