From the menubar, select Window > Preferences > Modeling to change the preferences that determine your startup, deletion, error reporting, file storage, ignored folders, and team sharing options:
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Reopen diagrams opened in the previous session | If selected, Together opens all diagrams opened in your previous session. | On |
| Reopen only active diagram | If selected, Together opens only your last active diagram. | Off |
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Confirmations | ||
| Show confirmation when element is about to be deleted | Prompts Together to display a confirmation dialog before an element is deleted. | On |
| On pressing 'Del' key always delete from | ||
| Model | If selected, element is deleted from both model and view. | Off |
| View only | If selected, element is deleted from view, but remains in model. | Off |
| Option/Button | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Pop up 'Send Error Report' Dialog when Internal Error is Detected | If selected, internal errors cause a dialog to display. The dialog asks whether you want to send an error message. | Off |
| Types of Errors to Handle | Select the error type(s) the system will handle:
|
Errors Exceptions Only |
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Separation presets | ||
| Single file | Stores all the elements on your diagram in a single file. | On |
| Separate all | Stores your diagram elements in separate files. You may find this feature useful when dividing up development work and sharing assignments through your version control system. It may also be useful when assigning permissions (however, when permissions are off for some elements, this may create difficulties when viewing the entire diagram). | Off |
| Separate selected | Stores selected diagram elements in separate files. When you select this option, the checkboxes next to each element type become editable. | Off |
| Diagram element types | The Diagram element types list activates upon selecting "Separate selected (only selected types of elements will be separated)" from the Separation presets drop-down list. | Off |
NB: Separation presets are not retroactive. If you created a diagram with one preset selection, then change the selection before beginning a second diagram, only the second diagram will reflect the new preset.
Use this tab to specify the folders you want Together to ignore. Usually this list contains CVS, bin, lib, and doc directories. Ignored folders are not parsed, so no diagram will be generated for them.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
 |
Opens the name field so you may enter a new folder. |
 |
Removes a selected folder. |
Use this tab to specify how you want to work with Team/Compare menus and version control in the UML Navigator.
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Include diagram folders in Team/Compare | This option has an impact when the design and Java roots
differ. When it is checked, Team/Compare (context menu) actions respect
both folders (merged, seen as a single model node known as package in
the UML Navigator). When it is unchecked, only folders from Java root
are considered.
NB: If you do not store diagram elements in CVS, you should leave this option unchecked. When your diagram folders are in CVS alongside the folders from the Java root and you want to synchronize both of them with one action, you should check this option. You can set how Together stores diagram elements on the File Storage tab. A package in the UML Navigator is a logical view of two physical locations. One is the real directory in the project and the other is the directory under the model directory (named Together Model by default) where the Together diagrams are stored (these are updated automatically by Together and probably do not need to be shared). |
