Title: Default connector style
Post by: tomshanley on December 05, 2011, 01:51:55 pm

Hi,

I don't like the default line style for new connectors on diagrams, and want to change back to "Direct" lines.  Please allow the user to select which style of connector should be default for new connectors.

thanks,
Tom

Hi Skiwi,

thanks for the pointer.

this dialog doesn't allow me to choose between "Direct", "Auto-Routing", "Tree-Style Vertical", etc as the default Line Style for new connectors.

I preferred pre version 8 sparx which where the default was Direct, and want to return to those happier times, but understand that other users have other preferences.

I have a raised a New Feature request.

cheers,
Tom

Feature request is a good idea,
what did you specifically ask for ?

I'd like to see it settable on an individual diagram basis

That would make a lot of sense!

Hi,

All I asked for was ability to set the default line style.  I didn't specify it to be per diagram, but that would be good.

cheers,
Tom

Feature requested for setting default line style by diagram (eg in diagram properties)

A LOT of things should be settable on a per-diagram basis!

If they are going to go there for this, fix the others also!

THAT would make a LOT of sense!

I wouldn't dare to go that far when asking Sparx....
