Chapter 17 Model Graphics
Format display preferences apply to all objects in a model including symbols, graphic shapes, and links.
A preference for symbol size applies to all new symbols. If you change this preference, it does not automatically modify existing symbols.
You can set the following format display preferences:
| Preference | Description |
|---|---|
| Default Size | Horizontal and vertical size of a symbol containing text (measured in units of 1/7200 of an inch) |
| Size | Position symbols to auto-adjust to text, to keep aspect ratio, to keep size and to keep center |
| Line Style | Color, size, and style of a line |
| Fill | Color, bitmap or gradient that fills a symbol |
| Shadow | Color that fills the standard shadow, the 3D effect, or the gradient of a symbol |
| Font | Font, size, and style of text associated with a symbol |
| Text Alignment | Position text in rectangles, ellipses, rounded rectangles and polygons |
| Custom Shape | Customized shape for most non-link symbols. You generally apply that display preference to one symbol type at a time |
Format and preview
The Preview box displays the format of the new objects you are going to create not the format of existing objets.
In the case of existing objects, only the attributes modified in the display preferences are modified in the diagram
