Setting the default view options of SysML items on a block definition diagram (SysML)
You can specify the default view options and compartments of SysML items that are added to a Block Definition Diagram through the View Options command.
After an item has been added to a Block Definition 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.
