Easy way to save upgraded dimensions?

I recently upgraded one of my Printrbot Simple Metal printers to a 250 mm X-axis build plate. Is there a way to change the regular settings that work great and save it as a "new" printer without having to build one from scratch in the config wizard? I change it in preferences but it always seems to shrink back. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance and I love the software!

I'm guessing you have the build dimension overrides enabled in your profile. That means that your profile is setup to override anything you do in the Preference > Machine tab area.
As a quick check, click "Edit Process Settings" and go to the G-Code tab. If the "update machine definition" section is enabled, then you have these build dimension overrides enabled. So just make the changes inside your profile and they will stick. This makes it much easier to switch between printers, since the build dimensions are now coupled to the profile.

Got it working great, even changed my Solidoodle 2 from the standard 6x6x6 that S3D thought it was to 8x8x8. Thanks for the tip!
