You also can manage "preference profiles" (which are PRO file types that contain all of your personal preferences). When you change preferences, they are saved automatically to the Username.pro file, which is the standard file that stores your preferences. Designer also lets you save your preferences to other profiles. Unlike with INI files, when you change to a different profile, the changes take effect immediately.
Profiles are a collection of all of your preferences. You may want to use a different profile for different kinds of work (such as graphic design or technical illustration). You may want to change preferences for one particular session or project, and then return to your normal preferences. 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 preferences.
In addition, you can share preference files with others. System Administrators may want to use the same preference file for multiple computers to ensure consistency.
You can use the Profile tab of the Options dialog box to choose a different profile, elect to save that choice when you close Designer, and enter or edit a description of a profile. Click Options from the Tools menu to open the Options dialog box.
