Changing the default line style for connectors

Connectors appear in the oblique line style by default when you add connectors (relationships) between shapes in a Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagram. You can change the default oblique line style to the rectilinear style for connectors.

Note: This setting affects only connectors that you add to a diagram and does not affect existing ones.
To change the default line style for connectors:
  1. Click Window > Preferences.
  2. In the Preferences window, expand Modeling, expand Appearance, and click Connectors.
  3. On the Connectors page, from the Line style list, select Rectilinear.
  4. Click OK.
