Subject: Understanding the settings saved in profiles

Profiles save many settings that control the drawing environment. Once you start using a profile, it automatically tracks and stores changes that you make to your drawing environment.

Some settings are saved immediately, but some require that you exit CADdirect and then start CADdirect again. This is because profiles save settings from your com­puter’s registry and some settings are only saved to the registry when you exit Intelli­CAD.
