How to switch current AutoCAD profile programmatically?

To switch to a different AutoCAD profile from a macro, script or a user application, you can use the command:

_VBASTMT
ThisDrawing.Application.Preferences.Profiles.ActiveProfile = "PROFILENAME"

Alternatively you can use a VisualLISP function:

(defun SetProfile (profilename)
 (vl-load-com)
 (vla-put-ActiveProfile
  (vla-get-Profiles
   (vla-get-Preferences
    (vlax-get-acad-object)
   )
  )
  profilename
 )
)

You may also make use of the Workspace functionality.
