AutoCAD profile

[Jason Hickey]

Using Carlson Civil Suite '07 on top of AutoCAD 2007. I'd like to be
able to use my plain, vanilla AutoCAD profile from time to time, but
Carlson has taken over - my profiles are hosed, can't get it back.
Any suggestions for loading just a plain AutoCAD with absolutely no
Carlson influence?

Jason,

Is it neccessary to have something beyond what one gets when one chooses the
Autocad button on the "Carlson Menus" toolbar? (I don't use it, but it
looks pretty plain jane Acad to me).

That may be what I'm stuck with, although I must say I don't like it.

There are situations when I absolutely do not want any reference to
Carlson on my screen, and I'm not seeming to get that. Had it
yesterday, but one open of Civil Suite hosed that as well.

I'll play more....there may be something I'm overlooking.

look into creating work spaces in the cui. I have not done that yet but
looks like what you might want.

When ACAD loads for the first time, it loads the last active profile. So
if you're opening ACAD & seeing Carlson stuff, that means you closed out
ACAD with that profile active. Try setting your normal profile active
before exiting. I say this because some SurvCADD commands do not appear to
unload when you swap profiles, and some commands don't swap like they
should. This applies whether you are clicking on a drawing to open ACAD or
if you click on the ACAD icon on your desktop, either way ACAD opens with
the last active profile. Clicking on the Carlson icon automatically
extracts the 'Carlson2007' profile and sets it active.

Using the ACAD button on the Carlson toolbar just toggles between the
Carlson and ACAD menus. I don't know if it defaults to a basic menu setup
or one based on your 'normal' profile. If you have other profiles, it
might default to one of those.

So far changing into a 'vanilla' profile before exiting the program is the
only way I know of to get ACAD with no Carlson influence.

When you use the toggle button, do you get every ACAD heading back? When
we do it here we end up missing some of the headings, like Express,
Window, and Help. We get File, Edit, View, etc. it's just the last two or
three that don't come in. I modified a LISP routine so that I could change
profiles on the fly without using a dialog box, and while doing this
allows me to retain all headings in the File bar area, it doesn't really
remove all traces of SurvCADD either. Some commands don't go away, some
double-click definitions don't change back, etc. etc. Very frustrating.

See this link that Techs posted on 7-6-06.

I am using Civil 2007 with Autocad 2006. The instructions are for Autocad
2000i but are pretty much the same. Do what it says to do in the
"Profile" tab. Then in the "Files" tab do what it says to do until you
get to the part about clicking on the "menu, files, and miscellaneous
files" plus sign. You don't have to do that part in Autocad 2006.

Make sure you have made your new "Vanilla" profile current and then exit.
Enter "/p Vanilla" in the properties tab for the Autocad 2006 icon. Be
sure to keep the quote marks around the program name and no quotes around
the profile flag.

For instance, my target command line is now "c:\program files\autocad
2006\acad.exe" /p autocad2006. The quotes were there to begin with and I
just added /p autocad2006 which is the name of my plain-jane profile.
