 Command Line:PROFILES

A Profile is a set of custom settings with a unique name for working environment parameters. By default, nanoCAD saves all current settings in <<Default>> profile.

If several users, using one account to enter the system, work with the program, each of them can create a profile and load it for working. Another example of profile usage is for quickly switching between settings when working with different documents in the current session.

Only one profile can be current. When changing interface settings, the current profile is changed automatically.

To use the custom settings of the working environment on other computers, a profile can be saved in a file with a *.wip extension. A WIP-file loaded on the other computer changes only the setting of the current profile, which were saved in this file. Other settings remain unchanged.

A section of the Options dialog contains:

The list of all profiles is shown in the Profiles section.

The name of the current profile is shown in the Current profile field.

A new profile inherits the properties of the current profile.

To set a selected profile as the current one, select the Set Current button.
