Frequently Asked Questions

Q:

I've been looking at the text based file format. In the DiagramText files I always see a couple things like:

symbol 2147483647

default

layer -1

shape "Rectangle"

location 20.00 20.00

size 60.00 30.00

framed

fillColor colorIndex 0

frameColor colorIndex 1

shadowColor colorIndex 2

lineWidth 1.00

filled

textPlacement top

end

as well as some other vertices and lines, even when the view is empty. What is this used for?

A:

Default symbols and lines are used to store default information for each tool. Basically, the default line or symbol style is the style which is used by default each time you select the line or symbol tools from the tool bar.
