My customized profilewont "stick" - need a fix ASAP!!!!

[erratic]

every time I apply my custom profile it works, but when I re-launch ACAD it defaults back to the standard profile - !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

note: this is regarding ACAD 2011 x64

You saved this profile as a Workspace right?

[erratic]

? - no option is found and was never necessary in the past... again AutoDesk is doing too much. IMO. Why don't they stop trying to reinvent the damn wheel already!!!!!

[ReMark]

Maybe you had a bad install.

[erratic]

funny - that's what a college and I were just thinking... I'd just rather NOT have to reinstall, but that may be where I end up today.

Thanks.

You could always try the Repair option.

 

I hope you eventually get your problem solved. Bye.

Have a look at your desk top short cut and make sure that the profile isn't being set there.

Which icon are you using to launch AutoCAD?? Right-click the icon and go to Properties. In the Target text box, you should see something like this: "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD MEP 2011\acad.exe" /p "AutoCAD"

 

Notice the /p "AutoCAD" text. The /p variable initiates the profile in the following quotations. So, /p "AutoCAD" would initiate the standard vanilla AutoCAD profile. /p "AutoCAD MEP (US Imperial)" would initiate the AutoCAD MEP profile that uses the US Imperial catalogs and workspaces. So, if you have created a new profile, you would have to put the exact name of this new custom named profile in the quotations. So if I had a new profile that I saved as "Tannar Frampton" then I would have to put /p "Tannar Frampton" in the icon properties.

 

Hope this helps your issue.

Yeah, after I posted my detailed description I noticed you already hit the main point I was trying to make. I just elaborated in detail is all. Initial props goes to you, Pablo. :wink:
