In
UML 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.
You must have a diagram open in the Modeling
perspective and the preference to show aliases must be set. Click .
In the
Preferences window, expand
and
select
Display Alias on the General tab.
To show or hide aliases in a diagram:
- In the Project 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: Because an element can appear in more than one diagram,
you can show the alias for an element in one diagram, and the real name of
the element in another diagram.
