Allow simultanous display of alias and name
« on: July 01, 2009, 08:51:35 pm »
It would be nice if it was possible to display both name and alias simultanously (e.g. <name>(<alias>).

Rationale.
We use auto counters to provide model elements with 'unique' numbers (a method for actually verifying this would also be nice).

When establishing traceability between design and test activities the name is used to identify the meaning of the model element whereas the alias (i.e. counter) is used to establish the identity of the model element.
In other words both are used at the same time. ;)

It is possible.

Look at Tools | Options | Diagram | Behavior | Alias Usage.
