Question:
How to add a sketch editor profile to your firm folder & profile catalog?
Answer:
When you created a Sketch editor profile, the profile is not located in the profile catalog of the model but in the xslib.db1 file of the model.
To export the profile go to profile catalog in Menu >> Catalogs >> Profile catalog and export the profile. The profile will be exported as an .uel file. If the suggested filename extension is not .uel, but instead .lis or .clb, it indicates that the profile type is different and not a sketched profile.

If you want to use this profile in the firm or project folders, copy the .uel file in any location in the firm folder or project folder (e.g. C:\Firm\User_profiles_uel).
Set the advanced option XS_UEL_IMPORT_FOLDER to this location in an initialization file (.ini). The prefered ini-file is where the firm or project location are set (XS_FIRM & XS_PROJECT).

When you create a new model, the profile will be in the profile catalog.
