Hello Daily AutoCAD readers,

If you are using AutoCAD in a shared computer with somebody else, or there is a custom application running on it, menu arrangement, button etc. might be going out of you the way that you are used to. In such a case, you can prepare a special opening for AutoCAD which is specially customized for you. To do this, all you have to do is to follow the simple steps as mentioned below.

Step-1 First of all, create your own profile:
 

Fig. 1 Go to profiles tab

First of all, right click on command line and use “Options…” option and select “Profiles” tab from the dialog box that comes up as shown in Fig. 1. In this tab, select “Add to list…” option and give a name as shown in Fig. 2, and add it.

Step-2 Make any customization that suits your way of working:

You can make any changes varying from menus to object settings. You can customize toolbars any way you want, or you can even change screen colors. From now on, all of these changes are being saved into your profile. After that, inside the target line of this shortcut, add /p “name of your profile” expression at the end of “….acad.exe” as shown in Fig. 4.

Step -3 Create a shortcut for you own profile:

Copy the shortcut of AutoCAD that is on the desktop and change its name to something else like “my own AutoCAD”

However, if there is also “unnamed profile” at the end of AutoCAD shortcut, then you may have to edit this. In such a case, you might have to get help from an expert. From now on, a special AutoCAD opening that is customized for yourself is ready to be used.
