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.
To export the profile Package to a directory:
1. From Modeler, open the Model that contains the profile Package you want to export.
2. Right-click the profile Package, point to Tools > Package Import/Export, and then click Export.
3. Type the path of the directory in which you want to export the profile Package, or select the directory through the selection button.
Note that you can create a folder by typing the path of the folder you want to create.
4. Click OK.
To add the exported profile Package to a model:
1. From Modeler, open the Model to which you want to apply the profile Package.
2. In the Packages pane, right-click the Model or Package that is to own the profile Package, point to Tools > Package Import/Export, and then click Import.
3. Select the PKF file in the folder to which the profile Package was exported, and then click Open.
To add a profile through the add profiles dialog:
This task applies to profiles provided with Modeler and profiles you have set up to appear in the Add Profiles dialog.
1. From Modeler, on the Tools menu, click Add Profile.
2. Select the check boxes associated with the profiles you want to add to the model.
3. Click OK.
