Unnamed Profile ???

[BillZ]

R2004 Autolisp and Vlisp:
In a new startup of AutoCAD, where there is no other Profile names except the default. If (= (getvar "cprofile") "<<Unnamed Profile>>")

Is there a way to change to a new name without exporting to a file or importing a file. So I can start makeing changes without changing the unnamed profile?

TIA

Bill

Isn't the "rename" option available?

Use the ActiveX method CopyProfile.

Thanks Robert,

Worked great!

I really can't wait until I get the hang of this vla stuff.

Whenever I have a question like yours, one of the first things I do is look at the Object Model map in the VBA/ActiveX help file. Lots of good info there.

Bill didn't want to change the unnamed profile.

Thanks,
Half the battle is learning how to get around all these new help files. (vlax-dump-object helps alot too.

I had to make a few changes in my approach with this new menu thing. But I'm real close to what I thought would be the answer. Should make it a breeze to set up the new machines.
