Adding an arc on one diagram with a default line style (say Orthogonal Square), it gets added to other diagrams with Custom Line Style.  Annoying to say the least!

But the real problem is it's WRONG!

Concistency, konsistency, consistensy! TMUffe - after Paolo

I received the following response from Sparx:

Thanks for your note.

The connector style applied when it is created (in all diagrams) is the style set at the following options page, which doesn't have "Orthogonal Square" as an option:
"Start | Workspace | Preferences | Links | Routing"

This is currently the intended behavior. We will submit the following feature requests to allow the behaviour you described:

1. Allow selection of Orthogonal Square and Rounded as a default style.
2. When a connector is created indirectly, use the line style specified in the profile (currently only used when created directly).

Obviously, ALL styles, not just these two, additional, styles should be allowed in the Default Routing dialog.  And the profile should override the value in the dialog.

As a consequence of the response, We've changed the default routing to "Routed", in the hope of "stuffing up" our existing diagram less.
