Save a sketched profile

Tekla Structures saves the sketched profiles in the current model folder, in the xslib.db1 file, which is a library file containing custom components and sketches. Sketched profiles are available in the Others section in the profile catalog.

Note:

Note the following limitations when naming sketched profiles:

You cannot use the name of a fixed profile.
You cannot include numbers, special characters, or blank spaces in the profile name.
Lower case letters are automatically converted into upper case letters.
