Adding a profile package to another model
You apply a profile Package to a Model by adding the profile Package to that Model.
If you are using Modeler with a configuration management tool (CM tool), it is best to store a profile Package in the CM tool and then use the Package reuse features to add the profile Package to a Model. For more information, see Reusing a package from a different CM tool model (CM tool integration).
If you are not using a CM tool to store the profile Package, you can add a profile Package to another Model by exporting the profile Package to a directory and then adding the exported Package to the required Model.

Do not create copies of a PTC profile within a model, or create copies of a PTC profile through XMI Import/Export. The copies of the PTC profile will not work correctly and you will not be able to update the copies through the Update All Profiles command.
