Diagram Appearance Menu
Diagrams have a default appearance determined by the diagram type and the global options defined in the 'Options' dialog. You can modify this default appearance for either individual diagrams or (for certain options) all diagrams you use, with the 'Diagram Appearance' menu options.

Show Status Colors (All Diagrams) |
Select this option to display the status colors for elements on all diagrams that you open, where those colors have been assigned to the elements. Deselect the option to display the elements with the default element fill and shadow colors. You can, however, select an option in report generation to still show the status colors in diagrams in the report. This option is also available through the 'Objects' page of the 'Options' dialog and, if re-set, will change there as well. |
