You can set several default
preferences for UML diagrams. For example, you can specify the appearance
style, font, and colors that are displayed in UML diagrams when you
create them. You might want to change the font and the colors to add
visual interest or to convey conceptual groupings between elements
in a new diagram.
About this task
