How to set "Alias and Name" to be shown in diagram in EA 13

I miss the Option to show "Alias and Name" in EA version? Haven't found any hint in the help search! Does somebody knows a hint? Thanks a lot!
Cheers, Christoph

Where would you find that in pre V13? I just know "Use Alias if available".

Just what I was going to say.
That option hasn't changed location. Right click on empty space in diagram then choose Properties | Diagram | Use Alias if available the very first checkbox on the top left.

The diagram specific option "Properties | Diagram | Use Alias if available" is not what I am looking for. In previous versions of EA it was possible to show the name and alias in paranthesis at the same time. To get this Feature work you needed to go into the General Options and set the Option "Use Alias and Name" afaik in the diagram properties. I cannot find this anymore in the newest version!?

That option is still in the same place on the user options dialog. (Diagram | Behavior | Alias Usage)

The dialog can now be accessed from Start | Workspace | Preferences.
