Using Profiles
To reuse or share your settings, save them as a profile.
Export Profiles
When you save an export profile, it does not store the current file name or
the current selection set.
When you load an export profile, if the specified data source doesn't exist,
Include Table Data is set to No.
Import Profiles
When you save an import profile, it does not store the current file name.
When you load an import profile, the table settings are reset for any input
layers that match an input layer name in the saved profile. Layers that do not
match an input layer in the saved profile are not reset.
■ If the specified coordinate system code is not in the dictionary, the
coordinate system is set to <None>.
■ If the data field name for a layer does not exist, the drawing layer is set to
Layer 0. If the specified drawing layer does not exist, it will be created.
■ If the data field name to use for the block name does not exist, or if the
specified block does not exist, the block is set to ACAD_POINT.
When you load an import profile containing object class settings, AutoCAD
Map 3D checks for potential problems and handles them as follows:
■ If the appropriate object classification file is not attached to the drawing,
the object class settings are ignored.
■ If the object class settings for a layer contradict the import file, the object
class settings are not applied.
■ If the specified object class does not exist, the object class assignment is
set to <None>.
■ If the object class attribute settings conflict with the import file, AutoCAD
Map 3D displays the
Conflict Resolution dialog box (page 1701).
