When specifying user workstation settings, I am given the option to specify a profile. What are profiles?
From AutoCAD Land Desktop
What information does the log file contain?
Networking Issues
Can I create custom desktop shortcuts?
Profiles are created on the Profiles tab of the Options dialog box. Profiles can contain configuration settings for just about anything that is not a drawing based system variable. For example, a profile can contain things like support paths, grip settings, and plot settings.
When you specify a profile on the Specify User Preferences page during the deployment process, it ensures that all workstations that use that deployment to install the product will be configured the same way.
