Image Memory Limit |
Set an image memory limit when generating images for RTF or HTML and when saving images to file. It is important when you have very large diagrams, as it affects the point at which Enterprise Architect starts to scale down the image; a low memory setting means it scales the image sooner. |
|
Diagram Frames |
Select whether diagram frames are to be automatically added to images of diagrams in files saved to disk, print-outs, and the default Enterprise Architect clipboard. A diagram frame is a labeled outline around the diagram image, providing both a border and a reference. |
