Modifying a CAD Author Profile for Use with PTC FlexPLM
Windchill profiling can also be used with PTC FlexPLM for those users who must fully use the functionality of PTC FlexPLM and Windchill PDMLink. The out-of-the-box CAD Author profile allows users to access data and features from both applications, and can be copied and modified for users who regularly use both PTC FlexPLM and Windchill PDMLink.
To create a modified CAD Author profile:
1. Navigate to Site > Profiles or Organizations > Profiles.
2. Copy the CAD Author profile to a profile name of your choice.
3. Edit the new profile and modify the Profile Actions table to suit the needs of your users.
4. Add members for CAD authoring to the new profile.

The member can be a group.
