How to change the appearance of a line? 
I can't draw a link or I can't see a link in my diagram 
This may be because you have not selected the view you need to draw or see this link. Carry out the following check:
1. In the flowchart, click .
2. In the dialog box that appears, check that all link types are correctly selected.
*If you have the same problem with other object types, check that the view corresponding to the object type is selected.

I would like to modify the default shape of messages in my diagrams. 
This is possible in HOPEX Windows Front-End. To do this, you must duplicate the standard shape and copy it in the "Mega_Usr" folder before modifying it.
To change the shape of a message:
1. In a diagram, create a message.
2. In the pop-up menu of the message, select Shapes and Details to view the name of the shape file and its location.
3. Start the shapes editor by selecting Tools > Shapes Editor from the desktop and open the default shape of the message.
4. In the File menu, select Save as and save the shape in the user folder of the environment (/Mega_Usr) keeping the same name.
5. Modify the file (for example its color).
6. Open a diagram that contains messages.
7. In the diagram Drawing menu, select Reinitialize shapes.
*It is necessary to activate this command when you have changed elements of the shape that are stored in the diagram, as is the case for color of the text.
Messages that have the default shape are automatically modified.
*You can select another shape as required by selecting Shapes and Details in the pop-up menu of the object.
