PROFILE (.ARG file) & Existing User Settings

Is the BricsCAD PROFILE (.ARG file) the profile sufficient to preserve existing user settings as they involve themselves in testing customization.

I now understand that the tool palette is NOT stored in the PROFILE. Can you confirm this understanding?

PROFILE (.ARG file) & Customized Settings

Is it recommended to set up a PROFILE for customizations (not including tool palettes)?

PREFERRED: MIXED SETUP - Maintaining User Settings with Custom Tools/Menus

An attempt to customize menus with a partial CUI while maintaining user settings is the goal of the current customization project. It appears that using the PROFILE for this type of customization method is not applicable Your insights are appreciated?

    I though I had sent you a copy of my Install lisp possibly by Email. In it you can get all the current settings like support paths and can look for menu's, both of these can be investigated further looking for certain WCMATCH which is what I do in the support paths. You could completely resest the support paths. The menu names, (if (menugroup menu_Name) will check for a menu name. I would expect there is a way also to check Tool Pallet settings.

    (setq cnt (vla-get-count (vla-get-menuGroups (vlax-get-acad-object))))

    (command "MENULOAD" (strcat Menu_Path Menu_Name ".mnu"))
    (menucmd (strcat "P" (rtos (+ cnt 1) 2 0) "=+" menu_Name ".POP1"))
