UML Designer User's Guide
In any of the three UML Designer browsers, you can select
Options>System Settings to display the UML Designer System
Settings window. From this window you can control options that affect
how the browsers and diagrams display information and other configurable UML
Designer settings. Each tab in the System Settings window controls a
different aspect of the UML Designer environment:
- UI
- Controls general user-interface options. This includes default
filtering for the Relationships Browser and Path Browser, as well as general
options for diagramming and UML Designer dialogs.
- Browser
- Controls the appearance of the UML Designer browsers. This includes
whether the Groups pane appears in the Relationships Browser,
whether to show refining elements, and the layout of the Hierarchy
Browser.
- Color/Font
- Controls the appearance of the screen fonts used in the UML Designer
browsers and diagrammers. You can specify fonts for three different
kinds of emphasis: hypertext links, figure captions, and missing object
captions.
- General
- Controls options related to default link labels and consistency
checking. See Association labeling for more information.
- Syntax
- Controls the syntax used to parse and display protocol messages.
You can select any one of the following options:
- Standard UML syntax
- Smalltalk-style syntax
- Java-style syntax
- Code Generation
- Controls options related to transforms that generate implementation
classes. These options affect:
- The default prerequisite for any new models
- The specification of protocol messages generated from responsibilities
- The availability and appearance of transform dialogs
