I would like to set the "Grid in Front" property as a default, when a
new diagram is created. How do I do this?

Regards

I know this is an old thread but I recently ran into this problem and
found a solution.

For some reason the property for controlling the "grid in front"
behavior is not included in IPreferenceConstants, unlike the other grid
properties (PREF_SHOW_GRID, PREF_GRID_SPACING, etc.). To make the grid
show behind the figures by default I had to override
addDefaultPreferences() in XXXDiagramEditor and add the following line:

getWorkspaceViewerPreferenceStore().setDefault(WorkspaceView erProperties.GRIDORDER,
false);

So the entire overridden method is:

@Override
protected void addDefaultPreferences() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.addDefaultPreferences();

getWorkspaceViewerPreferenceStore().setDefault(WorkspaceView erProperties.GRIDORDER,
false);
}
