Default Profile

[Anonymous]

Autowhatever seems to remember what the last profile used is whenever is it
started sans a profile specification.

I assume that there is some registry setting and I have looked for it but
haven't identified it.

and what is it that you want to know?

Hi Bob

Try this function (A2k+):
(defun VxGetLastProfile ( / CurVer TmpVal)
(setq TmpVal (strcat "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Autodesk"
"\\AutoCAD\\R15.0"
)
CurVer (vl-registry-read TmpVal "CurVer")
TmpVal (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\Software\\Autodesk"
"\\AutoCAD\\R15.0\\" CurVer "\\Profiles"
)
)
(vl-registry-read TmpVal)
)

Cheers

wouldn't that be the current profile [ (getvar "cprofile") ]
or
(vl-load-com)
(vl-registry-read (strcat (strcat "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\\" (vlax-product-key)
"\\Profiles\\")))

and...
finally, the function is useless, because you can get the information
also with the sysvar 'CPROFILE', but it shows the registry paths if
you need them outside AutoCAD...

Gentlemen,

I want the registry setting that controls what profile is used when none is specified. I am working with an OLE appllication which creates an instance of Autocad and would like to control what profile is used upon launch. This is always the last used profile by AutoCAD so I suspect it exists in the registry I just can't locate it.

Check the registry paths in my first answer!
