# Top level menus

The menus accessible from the BOUML's window are :

### Project menu :

The Project menu allows to create a new project, load a project, save it in place or in a new location, print the current diagram, close the project, or quit bouml. The bottom of the menu contains the historic, the upper line correspond to last opened project, for instance the current one. When you try to close a modified project, perhaps to load an other one, BOUML ask for a saving, this is not done when you close the bouml window using your window manager capabilities.

### Windows menu :

The Windows menu allows to select an opened diagram or change the sub-windows disposition.

### Tools menu :

The Tools menu allows to (re)open the trace window where the plug-outs write their messages, to apply a plug-out on the project (independently of the browser item currently selected), to add/remove/modify the known plug-outs list (see plug-out), or to import the plug-outs list defined in an other project.

### Miscellaneous menu :

The Miscellaneous menu allows to show/hide the stereotypes in the browser, to change the used style, to ask BOUML to produce or not a default definition/declaration (refer to the C++ generation, Java generation and Idl generation) when a browser item is created, to change the size of the base font used in the browser and the diagrams, and to set the default diagram format.

Note that sometimes changing the size of the base font does nothing because the desired font is not available. A had introduced this feature mainly because the default size under Linux and Windows is not the same, this may change the relative position of the objects and a relation drawn vertically with one font will be inclined with an other. Nevertheless because the fonts under Linux and Windows are not strictly the same, a diagram can't have the same aspect under the two operating systems. This size is memorized in the file memorizing the project, but BOUML allows to change the font size even when the file is read only (the new font size can't be saved).
