changing a default property of a diagram type

[ngong]

I am keen to have only required text on my diagrams. In most cases the namespace of a certain element is obvious and has not to show up on the diagram.
I can switch the namespace off in the diagram properties. But how make switched-off namespace the default?

Hi,

The Element Template package might help you. The function name contains 'Element', but it works for diagrams. Create a blank diagram in a blank Package, then modify the diagram properties, and then specify the Package as the Element Template Package.
After the setting, a new diagram (of the type which you created) has the properties as you set.
