Local Options
There are many options for customizing how Enterprise Architect displays and works with models and model elements. This topic describes those settings that are local to a particular user and machine.
Most of these settings are stored in your registry so they are set for your use only. For a networked workplace, registry settings can be copied down to any network workstation you log in to. Otherwise, the settings are valid for the current machine only.
