Change default line color?

Question

The default line color in Visio is blue. How can I change that default?

We have found that you can change each line as you draw but that is a hassle.

I have tried changing the color in the styles menu but it will only hold for one line then flips back to the default.

Solution

You apply default colours through Themes. You can create a new blank drawing, customise one of the existing themes then save the drawing as a template so that you get access to the customised theme.

Not really a duplicate since the previous answer talks about changing the master. While this does do the job, there is no longer a need to do this with 2010+
