Illustrator CS3 New Document Profiles

Are you tired of setting up your Illustrator enviroment again and again to your liking? In previous versions it was a matter of editing a "Default_CMYK" or "Default_RGB" file in the Illustrator applications folder. In CS3 it's much more fun with New Document Profiles:

Set everything the way you like: document size, units, preferences, rulers on or off, swatches in list view, brush sets, color mode, raster effects settings etc.

Then save a .ai document to
Username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3/New Document Profiles/
Name it "My Illustrator" or give it any name you like. From now on this profile will show up in the Illustrator welcome screen. Open it each time you want to start a new document with your settings. If you've turned off the welcome screen, find it again in the Help menu.

You can save as many document profiles as you like. As long as you save them in the folder mentioned above they will all show up at start, making your Illustrator life so much easier.
