AutoCAD Profiles / Updating Multileaders

[harilalmn]

Hi All,

I have two questions.

How can I Update/Reload a profile?
We have a custom profile created and used in our company. Sometimes if I make changes to the profile, it doesn't reflect in other systems even after closing and reopening AutoCAD. in that case what I do is I delete the profile and import it again. Is there any other solution for this?

Why doesn't Standard Check update the arrow style and text color of multileader?
I have a dws file which is configured in the standard template. But if I change the arrow from "Closed Filled" to "Right Angle" or something like that in the dws file, when the check standards is run, the arow style and the text color do not get updated.

Can someone help please?

Are you exporting an .ARG file and then trying to specify this profile in the startup shortcut?
If so, and the profile name already exists, the external profile is ignored.

Exactly....!!
I have an ARG file shared on our server and which is loaded on all the systems.
As of now what I do is;
1. Make the 'Initial Setup Profile' the current one.
2. Delete our standard profile.
3. Import the same again.
4. Set it current.

Is that the way to do it?

Is that the way to do it?I prefer to use Visual LISP to modify the profile to the required settings. This has the advantage of not messing with the user's preferred settings for display colors and such.
