Setting the default view options of SysML items on a parametric diagram (SysML)
You can specify the default view options and compartments of SysML items that are added to a Parametric Diagram through the Default View Options (Profile) command.
After an item has been added to a Parametric Diagram, you can change its view options through the standard Modeler view options. You can change its shown compartments through the Show/Hide Compartments command.
You can set up default view options for new SysML diagrams. Tell me more...
