Creating a User Profile

You can create a user profile by copying an existing profile, or by copying values from an open model or from your registry.

1. Select Tools > Resources > User Profiles to open the List of User Profiles:
   
   
   
2. Click the New Button to open the New User Profile dialog:
   
   
   
3. Enter a name for your profile and select a source from which to copy from. You can choose between:

   • Another user profile – makes a copy of the existing profile.

   • <Registry> - copies all your PowerDesigner defaults from your Windows registry.

   • <Model> - opens the Model for User Profile dialog which allows you to specify the preferences to copy from an open model (see Copying preferences from a model).

4. Specify a name and a location to create the profile and click Save.

   The user profile is created and opened for review in the resource editor.
