If nothing in the above steps solves the issue, then the profile can be reset manually-

  • Close AutoCAD and open Windows Explorer. Navigate to your current AutoCAD profile folder. This is typically a path similar to 'C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\AutoCAD [year]\[version]\enu\Support\Profiles\[currentprofile]'.
  • You might have a different AutoCAD version and will have to look for the folders that correspond to your version and current profile name.
  • Make sure file extensions are displayed in Windows Explorer.
    Find the file named “Profile.aws” and rename it to “Profile.old”.
  • Restart AutoCAD and all tool palettes and stored locations will be reset.
