support folders.<br />

USER PROFILES<br />

BricsCAD and AutoCAD both support user profiles to store each user’s customization settings. After<br />

changing settings with the BricsCAD Settings and AutoCAD Options commands, you save the<br />

all the settings in a .arg user profile file. The idea here is that you can make multiple profiles that<br />

customize each CAD program for different users or for specific projects.<br />

Profiles are made differently in each CAD package:<br />

BricsCAD creates user profiles through an external application, UserProfileManager.exe.<br />

AutoCAD creates user profiles through the Profiles tab of the Options dialog box.<br />

To access BricsCAD’s UserProfileManager program:<br />

Manager<br />

In Windows 8 and 10, press Windows+Q and then enter “user profile manager” in the Search field<br />

Or access it from inside BricsCAD by entering the ProfileManger command<br />

User Profile Manager is a stand-alone program with BricsCAD<br />
