Is there any way, in ARIS Connect Designer, to set the standard/default connection bridge height and rounding intensity, for all models? Preferred would be one setting for all designers for all models; next alternative would be to set this by user group; next would be separately for each user.
Or does the Designer have to set this maually for every model separately?
thank you in advance
If you have the 'Enterprise Admin' license which allows to manage the conventions via the Connect administration portal, then you can set this.
Just go to 'conventions\Templates\Available templates'.
There you can set the connection appearance per model type or for all model types.
I am not aware of a way to configure this for ALL Designers in Connect.
There is an Idea/Suggestion for this change here: Defaulting of connection properties per | ARIS - SHARE YOUR IDEAS (aha.io) . You should go and Vote for it. I did.

Thank you Michael and Koen for your reply.
I do not have the Enterprise Admin license right now, but I will pass this along to our Administrator. This will be very helpful, so we don't have to train and remind our Designers to do this for every model.
Wow thanks Koen. There are so many little buried configurations. Great to know this one. I will add your information to that Idea so they know this is already available in Connect.
Hello John,
if you want to set a standard format/appearance for a batch of existing models you can run the report format models from architect/designer client. By default it is not executable for Connect Designers, but in principle it should work, as Connect Designer can handle dialogs for some time now. You would need your Script Admin to activate it for Connect.
@Michael: It's a bit like they are saying in the good old movie Sneakers, "there is too many secrets" around Aris scripts as well.
