Workspace - Remove Current Profile

Last updated: 2023-01-24

Overview

This tool will remove the current Civil 3D user profile and close Civil 3D. The <<C3D_Imperial>> cannot be removed using this tool. Use this tool as directed by WisDOT CAE Support.

Using Workspace - Remove Current Profile

WisDOT [***] tab > Support panel > Support dropdown > Remove Current Profile

  1. Civil 3D will shut down.
  2. When using this tool to reset a WisDOT profile, Use the Civil 3D 20XX WisDOT shortcut on the Windows Desktop to open Civil 3D and recreate the WisDOT profile.

This tool will also remove some user settings (see below) that cannot be avoided. When using a WisDOT profile many of these settings are automatically saved outside of the profile and can be restored. These settings can then be restored with Workspace - Restore User Settings
