Image Modified
The Environment Options dialog contains various project-independent options grouped by different features (for example, diagrams, Model Browser, code engineering). Each option group is available in a different tab. Tabs are displayed in the tab tree.
An option value can be simply changed by typing a new value, setting a value to true/false, or selecting a value from the list. Click the Reset to Defaults button to restore default option values.
Changing options
In order to change the desired environment option, first of all, you may need to find it. In this case, use the quick filter in the dialog. Filtering is performed in all available options, not only in the selected option group. To better understand an option, you can read its description, which tells the effect of changing the option value.
To read the option description
Make sure that the Show Description mode is turned on in the Environment Options dialog. To turn the Show Description mode on or off, click the Show Description button on the tab toolbar.
