Profiles and settings

[edmartel]

I'm trying to set my CAD group to work from profiles based on different clients. I'm able to create, edit through options et al) the profiles and even start AutoCAD from a particular profile using the /p parameter. However I noticed that when I edit some itmes such as file paths through the options window. These changes will remain active even if I used a different Profile. Is there a way to reset the options changed during an active profile so that they're not remember in an instance of AutoCAD open with a specific profile?
In advance thanks for your help.

Welcome to AUGI!

Unfortunately, importing a profile using ARG file is only valid the first time. Additional instances of the /p switch in the application icon will only set that profile current by name, and does not re-read the actual ARG file. If you make changes to Support File Search Paths (SFSP) after the profile has been imported, they will remain in the registry.

That is why I use ACAD.lsp to manage the SFSP as RK illustrates in this example. Each time a user starts AutoCAD the *default* is applied.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply, However with this option I'm struggling with being able to set up a method where the user can get a selection to pick and choose a pre-configured SFSP for a client specific environment.

You can set the SFSP using autolisp.

RK - That's the same link I credit you with above (again).

No worries.
