You can update a user profile by copying values from an existing profile, from an open model, or from the registry.
Another user profile
<Registry> - copies all your PowerDesigner defaults from your Windows registry. Note that model check options and generation options are not stored in the registry and can only be extracted from a model or another user profile.
<Model> - opens the Model for User Profile dialog which allows you to specify the preferences to copy from an open model (see Copying preferences from a model). Note that general options, and options relating to the PowerDesigner interface (such as toolbar and window layout, favorite property sheet pages and grid layouts) are not stored in models and can only be extracted from the registry or another user profile.
