Alias Name & Message Name display
« on: June 06, 2012, 04:09:11 pm »
G'day EA,

I'm trying to get the Alias and Message Name to appear on a message between two lifeline (sequence diagram)
I followed the helptext on the Message (sequence diagram):-
"Note:
 On the diagram, the alias displays if the Use Alias if Available checkbox is selected on the Diagram tab of the Diagram Properties dialog. The Alias displays instead of or as well as the Message name, depending on the setting selected in the Alias Usage panel of the Diagram Behavior page of the Options dialog."

SO I went to the menu "Tools->Options->Diagram Behavior and "checked" the "Alias and Name"

I then created a sequence diagram and  "checked" the "Use Alias if Available" on the "Diagram->Properties->Diagram (tab).

After doing all this and drawing a Message between two lifelines the Alias only shows (I'm expecting Alias and Message Name to show). Correct me (and Forgive) if I have done something wrong. I'm running version 7.5 I had someone try under 9.1 and the same thing happened.
