Default open last Diagrams

[SaschaR]

Hi,
is there an option to save the perspective I used when I closed the EA. For example, I closed the EA and Diagram1 and Diagram2 were opened. What I want is that, when I restart EA, exactly these two Diagrams are opened as default.

Only way: use an add-in. There is an initialization called where you could open diagrams that were open at last close.

Of course you would need to store the state of the diagrams on shutdown so you could determine which to display next time.

In the meantime you can have one single diagram come up each time you start a given EA project. Open the diagram, then from the main menu choose Diagram | Set as Model Default. [Note that there is no equivalent context menu command to do this.] This is a far cry from what you are seeking, but it might make the wait for an add-in more tolerable.

Or you could create a shortcut to the model, which would open two or more diagrams when you started EA using that shortcut. But if anyone shares the shortcut they would get the same diagrams. Also, you would have to edit the shortcut every time you finished work, to return to the things you have been working on.  This might be OK if you are doing lengthy work on particular diagrams, but not if you flit across the model and do different things each day.

Thanks Roy,

That is a lot better than what I proposed, the limitations you mention notwithstanding.
