Specifying an alias can be useful if you frequently click on an indirect object which is found at the bottom of the display hierarchy. An alias is listed in addition to the predefined attribute name. If an alias has been specified, the attribute is thus listed twice.
|
Note: If, on the Network menu, you choose Aliases, you can get an overview of all existing aliases of the network. In the window you can display the aliases of individual or all objects. In the list you can create new aliases and edit or delete existing aliases. |
1. In the list, mark the attribute for which you want to specify an alias.
2. At the end of the row, click the Create alias symbol 
.
The Create alias for <network object type> window opens.
3. Enter the desired alias.
4. Confirm with OK.
The alias appears at the top of the list.
Editing an alias
- ► To edit, click the Edit alias symbol
in the row of the desired alias.
The Edit alias for <network object type> window opens, in which you can change the name of the alias.
Deleting an alias
- ► To delete an alias, click the Delete alias symbol
in the row of the desired alias.
The alias is deleted.

Notes: In the systematical and in the hierarchical sorting, aliases are displayed at the very top. In the alphabetical sorting they are sorted alphabetically. Aliases are saved with the network file and with the version file when saving networks. Internally, only the attribute ID is saved. |
