Editor: use spaces instead of tabs

[EricP]

Can anyone tell me how to set the EA internal code editor to use spaces instead of tabs, and set the number of spaces per tab?

I did it once but then I had to re-install EA and lost that setting, and now I can't find it.

Version is 7.5.850.

Thanks...

For EA 7.5 you will need to edit the appropriate .properties files under the "\Program Files\Sparx Systems\EA\Config" directory.  There is a PDF file in this directory that should provide further help.  See the properties TAB_USE_SPACES and TAB_WIDTH.

EA 8.0 provides the ability to edit these settings directly from the Tools | Options dialog.
