object

Type: Preferences

The object this property applies to.

Property Value

Remarks

The PreferencesProfiles object holds all the options from the Profiles tab on the Options dialog stored in the registry. All options that are stored with the drawing can be found on the DatabasePreferences object.

Note: While this property is available in AutoCAD LT for Windows, no properties and methods are exposed by the PreferencesProfiles object since the product doesn't support user profiles.

Sub Example_Profiles()
    ' This example obtains a reference to the Profiles Preferences object
    ' from the Application Preferences object, and reads one of the Profiles
    ' preferences
    
    Dim ACADPref As AcadPreferencesProfiles
    
    ' Obtain a reference to the Profiles Preferences object
    Set ACADPref = ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles
