Save and Restore Profiles | 67
Once you save a profile, you can export or import the ARG file to and from
different computers. If you make changes to your current profile during an
AutoCAD session and you want to save those changes in the ARG file, you
must export the profile. When you export the profile with the current profile
name, AutoCAD updates the ARG file with the new settings. You can import
the profile again into AutoCAD to update your profile settings.
For more information about profiles, see
OPTIONS in the Command Reference.
