 The manual profile update should now be complete.
+====Default profile selection and override====
+The default profile for myCNC can be selected in Settings > Info:
+{{:mycnc:profiles-001-profile-selection.png}}
+  - Select the necessary profile from the Available Profiles list
+  - Press the Save Profile button
+  - The selected default profile should now be updated at the top of the page
+The default profile is stored in the ''profile'' file (in /USERNAME/.config/myCNC):
+{{:mycnc:profiles-003-profiles-file.png}}
+Upon opening the file in the text editor of your choice, you can see the current default profile without having to open the myCNC software:
+{{:mycnc:profiles-004-profile-file-open.png}}
+It is also possible to override the default profile when starting the myCNC program from the command line, using the ''-p'' command line switch. In the image below, the system will launch the X1366V tangential cutting profile when loading myCNC instead of the default profile, using the '''/opt/myCNC/ubuntu18_64/myCNC' -pX1366V'' command:

The below list includes information for some of the the default myCNC profiles. The information may differ between profiles, as well as different versions of profiles, and should be used as a general reference only.
