Machine Token - Profile Panel Edge
A selected profile for The Machine Token, Profile Panel Edge, does not seem to update if you modify the profile and re-draw the part. I was making my own profile for a custom finger pull on a door. I used an existing MV profile as a starting point. I renamed the custom profile and re-drew the part and it worked, but the profile was not quite right. So I modified the profile, saved, and re-drew the part. The profile did not change. I checked the profile drawing and it was successfully modified. When I created a new project and drew the part with profiled edge, the profile was correct. I thought I was doing something wrong for a long time before I figured out that the profile drawing was not being updated after I modified it. It seems that MV saves the profile drawing internally after the first time it is used in a project and does not reference the profile drawing in the Profiles folder anymore. You can give the modified profile a new name, but if modify it again, you will have the same problem.
The same appears to be true when routing with a custom tool in the Router Bits folder.
Is there a way for MV recognized the modified profile without having to rename it or start a new project?
