# Global Diagram Preferences

Global Diagram Preferences
Option | Description
--- | ---
Reset Tool After Changes | If enabled, resets the tool to the Select tool after you add a node to the diagram. Default: Enabled.
Auto Hide Scrollbars | If enabled, then when the complete contents can display in the space available, scrollbars are hidden. If not enabled, scrollbars remain. Default: Auto hide scrollbars is enabled.
Show Tooltips | If enabled, you can see the tooltips when you hover the mouse on an element in the diagram. Default: Show Tooltips is enabled.
Link Types | Shows the links as straight lines or curved lines. Default: Straight.
Run Layout On Changes | After adding or deleting a node or an edge, refreshes the layout of the diagram. The layout options are None, Incremental, and Full. Default: None.
Animation | You can specify how a diagram behaves while it is changing from one layout option to another. Animation options allow you to see the nodes and edges moving from one arrangement to another. If you disable animation, the display simply switches from one kind of layout to another. Fade: When enabled, the diagram transitions from faded out to fully colored state. The transition completes in the duration specified in the Layout duration option. Interpolation: When enabled, the nodes and edges appear to move from one layout to another, when you select a different layout. The transition completes in the duration specified in the Layout duration option. Viewport Change: Enables the interpolation animation when the viewport changes as a result of zooming. If enabled, the zoom change is reflected gradually with animation. By default, animation is enabled along with Fade, Interpolation and Viewport Change. Duration: The time taken by animation to complete. Layout: Time, in milliseconds, for the layout change to complete. Applicable to the interpolation and fade options. Default for Layout: 500 Viewport Change: Time, in milliseconds, for the viewport change to complete. Default for Viewport Change: 1000
Opaque Movement | Interactive Zoom Sensitivity specifies the sensitivity of the mouse in interactive zooming. Pan Sensitivity specifies the sensitivity of the mouse in panning. Default: Opaque Movement is enabled, Interactive Zoom Sensitivity is 200.0, and Pan Sensitivity is 1.0.
Magnify Tool | The size the zoom window, and the level of zoom. Default: Window Size is 250, and Zoom Level is 3.

The preferences for all types of diagrams are listed in the following table. The preferences are organized alphabetically and not grouped according to the diagram types.

Specific Diagram Preferences (Alphabetical) (Sheet of )
Option | Description
--- | ---
Cluster Layout Style | Sets whether to show Selected Entity Project diagrams in a circular or symmetric clustered layout. Default: Circular.
Create view when analyzing | If enabled, creates a Selected Entity Project diagram when you choose to run the project analyzer. Default: Disabled.
Dependency Levels | Sets how many levels of dependencies to view in a dependency diagram - One, two, or all. Default: One.
Filter Options | Sets whether to show various project resources in a Selected Entity Project diagram: Show Concepts, Show Events, Show Decision Tables, Show Domain Model, Show State Machines, Show Archives, Show Rules, Show Rule functions, Show Scorecard, Show Channels, Show Scope Links, Show Usage Links, Show Archived Destinations, Show Archived Rules, Show Archived Rules (All), Show Rules in Folders, Show Tooltips, Group Concepts, Group Events, Group Rules, and Group Rule Functions. Default: All enabled except for Archived Rules, Group Concepts, Group Events, Group Rules, and Group Rule Functions.
Fix node and edge labels | Keeps the labels of the nodes and edges with their graphics. Default: Enabled.
Grid | Sets the display either to without grid, or grid with lines, or grid with points. Default: Lines.
Layout Style | Sets either the orthogonal or hierarchical layout. Default: Orthogonal.
Layout Quality | Options are Draft (lowest quality), Medium, and Proof (highest quality). It takes longer to generate a higher quality diagram than a lower quality diagram. A different algorithm is used in each case. Default: Draft.
Link Routing | Determines how links are routed when the hierarchical layout is used: Orthogonal: Routes the links using horizontal and vertical straight line segments (that is, using right angles) Polyline: Routes the links using straight line segments with arbitrary angles Overlapping lines are more likely with orthogonal routing than with polyline routing. With polyline routing the routing algorithm adds path nodes as needed to avoid overlapping lines. Note that the line segments can be joined using straight lines or curves in both cases. Default: Orthogonal.
Link Routing— Fix Node Positions | This setting affects link routing behavior for all layout options. If enabled, node positions do not change when you use the link routing feature. If disabled, link routing changes node positions as needed for clarity. Default: Disabled.
Link Routing— Fix Node Sizes | This setting affects link routing behavior for all layout options except hierarchical layouts. If enabled, node sizes do not change when you use the link routing feature. If disabled, link routing changes node sizes as needed for clarity. Default: Disabled.
Orientation | Defines the general direction in which the links display, to reflect hierarchical relationships between the entities. TIBCO BusinessEvents diagrams are not particularly hierarchical, but setting this option defines the general direction of the layout. Options are: Top to Bottom, Bottom to Top, Left to Right, and Right to Left. Default: Top to Bottom.
Orthogonal Fix Node Sizes | This setting affects link routing behavior for the hierarchical layout option only. If enabled, node sizes do not change when you use the link routing feature. If disabled, link routing changes node sizes as needed for clarity. Default: Disabled.
Run analysis when creating view | Runs the Project Analyzer when creating a Selected Entity Project diagram. Default: Enabled.
Run fast layout for large diagrams | Only for Selected Entity Project diagrams. If enabled, TIBCO BusinessEvents filters out certain properties before generating a large Selected Entity Project diagram to make it look simpler. Default: Disabled.
Show all properties in Concept Node | If enabled, a diagram shows all properties of a concept node, instead of showing only four default properties. Default: Disabled.
Show all properties in Event Node | If enabled, a diagram shows all properties of an event node, instead of showing only four default properties. Default: Disabled.
Show Catalog Functions | Sets whether to show catalog functions in a Sequence diagram. Default: Enabled.
Show Catalog Function Return Links | Sets whether to show return links of catalog functions in a Sequence diagram. Default: Disabled.
Show Expanded Names | Sets whether to show expanded names in a Sequence diagram. Default: Enabled.
Snap to grid | If you move nodes in a diagram and the grid is shown, the nodes snap to the grid lines if Snap to grid is enabled. Default: Disabled.
Undirected layout | Sets no orientation for the diagram. Default: Disabled.
