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:

CAD drafting Profiles 6

List with names of profiles available in the current document.

The profile selected in the list becomes the current one.

The button opens the Profile dialog box to create and manage profiles.

A new profile inherits the properties of the current profile.
