All the modifications made in the defaults library can be saved in a new profile that can be used in other projects. Multiple profiles can be created and customized depending on the project type. A specific profile can be selected and used from the beginning of a new project.
The default library from Management Tools contains by default the Advance Steel profile, displayed in the upper right corner of the Defaults window.
To add a new profile:
- Open the Management Tools: Home
Settings
(Management Tools).
- Select the Defaults category.
- On the toolbar, click New profile.
- In the Profile name dialog box, enter the desired name.
Note: The entered name cannot contain spaces or special characters such as "\".
- Click Apply.
The profile is automatically activated. Any modification of the defaults can be done for it.
