using profiles?

(1/5) > >>

ELOQUINTET:
hey i'm wondering about how to use profiles. my boss sometimes works at my computer and we have different toolbar setups. he gets frustrated all the time looking for icons which i type in. i would like to create a profile for him to use when he's on my computer then switch back to mine when he leaves. i'm not familiar with using profiles or even if this is what you use profiles for. could someone tell me the easiest way to implement this. maybe it's actually his acad.mns i should have on my computer i'm not really sure? thanks

Mark:
Setup ACAD the way you like it and go to
Tools -> Options... then click on the Profiles tab. Click on Add to list to save the current settings. Then do the same thing for your boss. You can create a shortcut on the Desktop to open ACAD with each profile, using something like this.
C:\LD4\acad.exe /p "C:\LD4\lddt.arg"

ELOQUINTET:
mark i created one called dan and one called robert adding his toolbars and such. where do i find the file when creating the shortcut? when i search for .arg files in my adt directory it just shows the adt.arg. what did i do wrong??? thanks

hendie:
have you exported the arg file yet ? and where did you save it to ? is it in the support path ?

ELOQUINTET:
oh ok yes now i have exported it to my adt/support folder. my shortcut reads as follows:

target type: ARG File

target:  "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3\ROBERT.arg"

start in:  "C:\Program Files\Autodesk Architectural Desktop 3"

it's not working what's up?
