Setting default modeling preferences

You can specify default settings for the modeling environment. You can customize your modeling environment by specifying the appearance settings for models and diagram elements and by specifying preferences for views, such as the Model Explorer view, Properties view, and so on.

You can try various preferences until you find the settings that best meet the needs of your project.
Note: These settings affect only new elements that you add to a model or diagram and do not affect existing elements.
To set default modeling preferences:
  1. Click Windows > Preferences. The Preferences window opens.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand Modeling and click the item whose settings you want to modify.
  3. Modify the settings and click OK.
Tip: To restore the default settings, on any Preferences page, click Restore Defaults and click OK.
