To create a base profile, you can copy the AutoCAD icon, BricsCAD icon, or Equipment icon, and specify a profile. This profile is based on the default CAD profile.

Make a copy of the Equipment shortcut on the desktop.

Right-click the shortcut and select Properties.
The Properties dialog box appears.
-
On the Shortcut tab, replace the value after /P in Target with the new profile name. For example:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD - English\acad.exe" /P UserBase
You can use any name that is not used on the Profile tab of the Options dialog box (Tools > Options) in the CAD platform. Use quotes around the profile name if it contains spaces.
-
Click OK.
-
Double-click the shortcut to start the software.
The CAD platform creates a new profile based on the software defaults.
