Save Profile Options
When you save a Profile, you can save it either from its parent Package or from the Profile diagram, depending on whether the Profile is:
- A single Profile spread over multiple diagrams within the same Profile Package, which is typically the case for a Stereotypes Profile
- One of multiple Profiles within the same Profile Package; for example, when creating multiple Toolbox profiles
- A single diagram within the Profile Package

This option can be much slower. Notes: The difference arises because diagram objects are kept in memory and Project Browser elements are not. This is only likely to be an issue if the Profile is a large one and you are using a slow network connection to a remote repository. |
