This is small item, but how do you configure what a project looks like when it is opened (e.g. which diagram is shown)?

I have a project that always opens to a diagram from an older package in the EA project. And since it isn't the first model in THAT package, I figure that it must be configurable.

In summary, when I open my project, I want to see the 1st diagram of "Package B" instead of having the 2nd diagram of "Package A" (which is what its been doing since I've been using the project file).

I am on version 13.0.1307.

Go to the diagram
In the ribbon, click Layout
then in the Diagram Section, click Manage
Then you have the option to set the Diagram as the Model default (It will be the default for everyone)
or as the User Default(It will be the default only for you)
enter image description here

You can also right-click en empty space in the diagram and select "Set as User Default Diagram"
enter image description here

If you want to go back to the User/Model default diagram at any time, you can use the active windows arrow enter image description here Also (unrelated, but still useful) You can use Working sets

  • Using Enterprise Architect v15 RC - In the Layout Ribbon the "Manage" icon is now called "Options", and "Set as Model Default" is there. – Robert Jul 09 '19 at 21:46

    They changed it again in Enterprise Architect 15.1. To find this action go to "Start" Ribbon, then in the icon "Workspaces" select the "Manage" menu under the "Model Places" group, then "Set Current as Default". – Oscar Costa May 28 '20 at 17:10
  • And then the question is: how to remove this default diagram? Also using 13.0 like the original poster. – Wallem89 Sep 15 '21 at 12:28
