Chapter 9 Customizing your Modeling Environment

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.

To create a user profile:

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.
