Welcome.
The location of the dot display is a user setting. It is not stored with the model. To change the display position:
-
Choose the Options... item on the Tools menu.
-
Choose 'ORM Designer' from the left tree.
-
In the 'Appearance' section of the grid, select the 'Mandatory Dot Placement' option
-
Change it from 'RoleBoxEnd' to 'ObjectShapeEnd'
-
While you're there, look around at some of the other options as well. Descriptions are at the bottom of the grid. The two options I routinely change are 'Delete Key Behavior', which I set to 'DeleteElement', and 'Show Description Tooltips', which I set to true.
NORMA also has display options that are not on this tab:
-
In the 'Environment/Fonts and Colors' section, the settings for 'Text Editor' have several 'ORM*' elements in the Display Items list. These affect the colors in the ORM Fact Editor tool window.
-
On the same tab, in the 'Show Settings For' dropdown, you will find an 'ORM Verbalizer' item that controls the display in the ORM Verbalizer tool window, and an 'ORM Designer ' item that controls a few colors in the designer itself.
Note that the designer settings will require a VS restart to take effect, but the fact editor and verbalizer settings should be applied immediately.
