In modeling diagrams, you can specify aliases for the diagram elements.
Aliases are useful when you want the diagram element to have a name that is
different from the name that is displayed in the Model Explorer view.
You must have a diagram open in the Modeling perspective.
To specify an alias:
- In the diagram editor, click a diagram element.
- In the Properties view, click the Advanced tab
and expand UML.
- In the Property column, click Alias.
- In the Value column, type an alternate name.
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.
