Saving and Loading Settings Using Profiles
You can save your topology overlay analysis or network analysis (path trace,
best route analysis, or flood trace) settings in a profile and use them again
later. This can save time if you plan to use the same settings more than once.
Profiles are also useful when you automate topology analysis with scripts.
Topology profiles are saved as *.tpf files.
You can edit topology profiles in AutoCAD Map 3D and then save your
changes, choosing either to replace an existing profile or save it as a new
profile.
NOTE You cannot use profiles to save settings for creating topologies, buffering
topologies, or dissolving topologies. Topology profiles can be used to save topology
overlay analysis or network topology analysis (path trace, best route analysis, or
flood trace) settings only.
NOTE This functionality is for drawing objects only. There is no equivalent for
geospatial feature data.
WARNING Do not edit topology profiles outside of AutoCAD Map 3D. Doing so
may produce unexpected results.
