The style features you set may be overridden.

3. From the Show Associated list, select Model Item Types.
4. Click the Link button.
5. Select the check box associated with Model, and then click OK.
6. On the Style tab, click Edit.

8. If you have applied more than one Symbol Style to the model, specify which Symbol Style is used to set symbol features through the Priority box. The Symbol Style that has the highest number set for its Priority property is used.
Each symbol feature you set will be used for any item added to a diagram, unless the feature is overridden by a symbol feature defined for items of a specific type, an individual item or an individual symbol.
