Using styles to modify the project’s appearance
Style refers to the set of graphic display attributes, organized by type of diagram.
Many different styles can be used for each type of diagram to add information or a
personal touch to your project. Format > Project Styles > Tab
A diagram has a default style set used when you create a new graphical representation. You can change this default style by Format > Diagram Default Style.
