Changing Editor Preferences

You can change the appearance of editors, including the method that lines are drawn, grid size and color, and label font. When you change preferences, the change affects all editors in a project.

To change editor preferences:

  1. From the Orchestrator main menu bar, select Window>Preferences.

The Preferences dialog box appears.

  1. From the Preferences navigator, select Orchestrator>Appearance.

  2. From the Appearance window, change any of the following:

  3. Canvas color

  4. Snap to grid

  5. Grid appearance

  6. Undo stack size

  7. Icon label font

  8. Line color, width, and routing

  9. Line label color and font

Note: When you change line routing, the change affects all lines in all business processes in the project. If you have a created a business process with manually drawn circular-effect lines and change to direct or manhattan (90-degree angle) lines, the manually-drawn circular lines lose their perspective.

  1. Click Apply to make the changes or Restore Defaults to return to the original configuration.

  2. Click OK.

The dialog box closes and the changes appear on the editor's canvas.
