In modeling diagrams, you can show or hide the aliases that you
specify for diagram elements. The display mode is controlled at the diagram
level, which means that you can display the aliases or the real names of the
diagram elements for each diagram.
Because an element can appear in more than one diagram, you can show
the alias of an element in one diagram, and the real name of the element in
another diagram.
To show or hide aliases in a diagram:
- In the Model Explorer view, click a diagram.
- In the Properties view, click the General tab.
- On the General page, complete one of the following steps:
- To show the aliases, select the Use Alias Name check
box.
- To hide the aliases, clear the Use Alias Name check
box.
Tip: You can display and use the Alias property on the
General page of the Properties view; however, you must
activate this functionality in the workspace preferences.
