Override Default Templates
Enterprise Architect has a set of built-in or default code generation templates. The Code Templates Editor enables you to modify these default templates, hence customizing the way in which Enterprise Architect generates code. You can choose to modify any or all of the base templates to achieve your required coding style.
Any templates that you have overridden are stored in the project file. When generating code, Enterprise Architect first checks whether a template has been modified and if so, uses that template. Otherwise the appropriate default template is used.

Reference
Override a default code generation template using the Code Templates Editor.
When generating code, Enterprise Architect now uses the overriding template instead of the default template.
