Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Where is "Alias"

Thanks very much for the reply - my problem is solved. I can only say that this information is well hidden. It doesn't show up anywhere in the EA Users Guide or in the Enterprise Architect Object Model documentation. And when I go to the Sparx Support page and Search for "attribute alias", the search results do not include the FAQ page with the answer. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks for the quick reply. You are correct, Element.Alias works for the Class element. I should have been more specific. I am specifically trying to access the Alias property of the Attributes of a UML Class. In the property sheet for Class Attributes there is an Alias field. When I set a variable, say attribute, to the type Attribute and attempt to reference attribute.Alias I get an error that the "Object doesn't support this property or method."

On Element property sheets there is a field called "Alias" described as "Enter an alias (alternative display name) for the object. Where is "Alias" in the object model? How do I access/set it?
