Default connector style
« on: January 07, 2014, 03:12:06 pm »
Hi, sorry if this has been covered before - I'm a relatively new user.   ::) I want to set a default connector style to Orthogonal - Rounded for any type of diagram. I can't see how to do this. Is it possible?

Thanks,
Tim

No not possible.

I guess they (Sparx) forgot to include those "new" styles in the dropdown for default style.

You can send in a Feature Request though

You can set it in the MDG if you're game:
      <Property name="_lineStyle" value="Direct"/>

in the <Apply> section, against your selected connectors.

IIRC, we went the other way and changed the non-direct style to direct - because a number of users complained about the provided default for the ArchiMate arcs.
