B.3. Diagram Preferences

Several diagram preferences are available to customize your diagrams.

Routers - The relationship link type for Package and Custom diagrams (Foreign Key - Primary Key relationships) can be customized. Available options include Orthogonal (default), Directed or Manual (user defined breakpoints).
Font Settings - Select font type, style and size.
Background Color Settings - Select a unique background color for each diagram type to help differentiate between types.
Model Size - Displaying very large diagram may take a considerably long time. This preference allows users to set an upper limit on the number of objects to display in a diagram. If this limit is exceeded, a warning is displayed to the user and the diagram is not constructed.
Relationship Options - UML-type relationships can be customized in a couple of ways. Role Names and Multiplicity labels can be shown or hidden using the checkboxes labeled Show Role Names and Show Multiplicity.
