AutoCAD Warning

How can I solve this message: "Unable to load profile file."

Are tring to load a workspace? Or migrate settings from a differant AutoCAD?

The message is display each time I open an AutoCAD session.

Is this at work or personal use?

At work (office)

Have you thought about asking your IT? My guess is you may need to run a repair.

Are trying to load a workspace? Or migrate settings from a different AutoCAD?

Sure sounds like a migrate settings transfer.

This might generate another query, "Is is possible to carry a profile around on a thumb drive?"

Would make life easier while moving from PC to PC, PC to laptop, laptop to PC.

I agree, but how would you fix that? Thats why I suggest a repair.

I too agree with a repair.

Any input on the thumb drive carrying profiles?

Sounds easy enough but, never tried it.

Sure would make movin' about much simpler.

When you save a workspce, does it save an actual file or does AutoCAD save it in computers registry.

However, if this is possible, I wanna learn cause I am tired of setting up my computer everyday at school. I have a workspace at school, But I prefer to have the one at school. For some reason I am unable to get the 2 profiles the same :/

Go to options > Profile > export (save as and change the file extension)

Help file:

Profile information is typically set on the Files tab of the Options dialog box, stored in the system registry, and can be exported to a text file (an ARG file).

WAIT!!!! So you are telling me that, my workspace can be exported and loaded on another computer? How do I upload/install this workspace to another machine?

go to options profile import and select the arg file you exported

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks! lol

-Although I'm not that old. Thanks for that tip!

Pretty cool when you have it on a flash drive. Like taking your desktop with you.

Also save it in My documnets and it will become part of the computer back up every week.:wink:

I bet it is pretty cool... Guess what I am about to do! :D:D:D

You can also save your block lib to the flash drive and have all your blocks with you also. Just remember to referance the flash drive blocks for your profile.

I don't need to do that... both computers I use have the same blocks loaded.

Thats the Power of Autodesk Symbols 2000, as Billy Mays would say!
