AboutScott Cook Expertise I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
Experience Since 1987. Author of Plot2000 software for for AutoCAD, http://www.plot2000.com.
PROGRAMMING QUESTIONS ONLY PLEASE. Questions that are NOT related to programming or AutoCAD customization (menus and lisp only please) are outside the scope of my volunteer services and will NOT BE ANSWERED.
My question concerns an AutoCAD alert I always receive upon startup. The message is copied verbatim below:
A bad profile is specified in the command line: C:\Program Files\AutoCAD Architectural 2\adt.arg The current profile name specified in the registry will be used.
So, I located the "bad profile" in question, and it is a Photoshop file that will not open. It opens in the notebook program, however, and displays the word "regedit", which a coworker has informed me is a problem that most likely occurred while registering the product. This is a legally obtained program. My question is, what's the next step to resolving this issue? Incidentally, the alert message doesn't seem to affect the running of the program itself. I just click 'ok' and everything seems fine.
FYI - AUtoCAD 2000i
Thanks!
Answer the profiles are just registry files. it's got nothing to do with authorization. you can modify your shortcut to autocad to remove the reference to the offending profile, everything including the /p and the path in question. or you can just put up with the error.
