Profile tab of the Options dialog box

This tab lets you manage "option profiles" (which are PRO file types that contain all of your Designer option settings). When you change to a different profile, the changes take effect immediately.

You may want to change settings for one particular session or project, and then restore your normal settings. If more than one person is running Designer from a file server or sharing a computer, each person can save and use his or her own settings.

You can choose a different profile, save your settings when you close Designer, and enter or edit a description of a profile. You also can create a new profile, and you can copy, delete, rename, and update profiles.


Profile Document	Lists the PRO files from which you can choose. To create a new PRO file, or to delete, rename, or otherwise manage your profiles, click the File Options button . When you select a profile, its settings take effect immediately.
File Options	Displays a menu for managing PRO files. You can create, copy, delete, rename, and update PRO files.
Directory Options	Displays a menu that lets you specify the folder where Designer should look for PRO files. Also lets you copy the current PRO file.

Save On Exit	If you select this option, all your current Designer settings will be saved in the current PRO file each time you exit Designer.
