Diagram properties preset
« on: December 08, 2011, 12:33:13 am »
On doagram properties page I can check "Use Alias If Available". Can I specify initial value of the attribute for newly created diagrams?
I want all diagrams to display alias by default, without need to open property dialog and set the property manually.
Am I overlooking some setting?

Thanks for answer.

You need to do that via automation.

Have you tried the template package?
Often that helps for those settings that you can't set in Tools|Options

Automation is something I would rather not use.
Template package is what I wanted. Thank you. Some ways in EA are really not straight forward.

I thought you were looking for changing a couple of existing diagrams. That's why I suggested automation. But obviously Geerts way is what you were looking for.
