General group Options 

Description and default value 

Custom diagram background color 

This parameter controls the background color of diagrams, if the Use default background color option is set to false.
The default value is WhiteSmoke.  

Diagram detail level 

This option controls the amount of information displayed for an element in a diagram. The default value is Design.

• Design: Names and types (visibility signs are shown).
• Analysis: Names only (no visibility signs)
• Implementation: Names and types, parameters for the methods, and initial values of attributes (visibility signs are shown).

 

Font in diagrams 

This option defines the font and font size that is used in printed diagrams.
The default value is Arial, 9.75pt.  

Wrap text in nodes 

This option controls whether the text displayed in a node automatically continues on the next line when it reaches the right border of the node. If set to False, the rest of the text is not displayed.
The default value is True.  

Maximum width of text labels (pixels) 

This setting specifies a width limit for all text labels outside nodes (for example, link labels). The text automatically continues on the next line when it reaches this limit. If set to 0, the text is always displayed in a single line.
The default value is 200.  

Member format 

This option controls the format of members in class diagrams.
The default value is UML.  

UML 

Methods (functions) are displayed as <name> (parameters) : <type>. Fields are displayed as <name> : type>  

Language 

Methods in C# are displayed as <type> <name>. Fields in C# are displayed as <type> <name>. Functions in Visual Basic are displayed as <name> (parameters) As <type>. Fields in Visual Basic are displayed as <name> As <type>.  

 

 

Show page borders 

This option controls whether to show gray borders that represent page margins in the Diagram View and Overview.
The default value is False.  

Use default background color 

This parameter controls whether the system background color is used in diagrams. If this parameter is true, then background color is defined according to the current Windows color scheme. If this parameter is false, the background color is defined by the Custom diagram background color parameter (see above).
The default value is True.  

Grid group Options 

Description and default value 

Grid color 

This parameter defines the color of the diagram grid.
The default value is LightGray.  

Grid height (in pixels) 

This option enables you to specify the exact height of grid squares in pixels.
The default value is 10.  

Grid style 

This parameter controls whether the grid is displayed as dotted or solid lines.
The default value is Lines.  

Grid width (in pixels) 

This option enables you to specify the exact width of grid squares in pixels.
The default value is 10.  

Show grid 

If this option is true, a design grid is visible in the background behind diagrams.
The default value is True.  

Snap to grid 

If this option is true, diagram elements "snap" to the nearest coordinate of the diagram background design grid. The snap function works whether the grid is visible or not.
The default value is True.  

Nodes group Options 

Description and default value 

3D look 

If this option is true, a shadow appears under each diagram element to create a three-dimensional effect.
The default value is True.  

Show compartments as line 

If this option is true, a control bar displays over the compartments of selected diagram elements (fields, methods, classes, and properties). The compartments are represented as expandable nodes that can be opened or closed by a mouse click.
The default value is True.  

Show imported classes with fully qualified names 

This parameter controls whether imported class names are shown in the fully qualified or short form.
The default value is True.  

Show referenced class names 

With this parameter, you can optionally show or hide the name of the base class or interface in the top-right corner of a classifier in the Diagram View. You can hide these references to simplify the visual presentation of the project.
The default value is True.  

Show referenced classes with fully qualified names 

This parameter controls whether referenced class names are shown in the fully qualified or short form.
The default value is True.  

Sort according to positions in source code 

Choose this option to sort fields, methods, subclasses and properties according to their positions in the source code.
This option prevails over the others: if it is set to True, the options Sort elements alphabetically and Sort elements by visibility are ignored.  

Sort elements alphabetically 

This option controls the order of members displayed within elements on diagrams. If this option is true, fields, methods, subclasses, and properties are sorted alphabetically within compartments.
The default value is True.  

Sort elements by visibility 

This option controls the order of members displayed within elements on diagrams. If this option is true, fields, methods, subclasses, and properties are sorted by visibility within compartments.
The default value is True.
