Create an alias

Create an alias to create a variable type that points to a node with a
NodeId
 property. Create the alias in either an object or a parent node.
  1. In
    Project view
    , select the object or object type to contain the alias.
  2. In
    Properties
    , select
    Add new
     and then select
    Alias
    .
    Alias#
     appears in
    Properties
     and contains the
    Kind
     property.
  3. (optional) Mouse over the end of the alias name, select , and then enter a new name for the alias. 
  4. Set the alias:
    • If the source node can be set at design time, select the node or drag it from
      Project view
       to the alias value field.
      The
      Kind
       property automatically contains a value with the relative reference node.
    • If the source node can be set at runtime only, or setting the source node at runtime is required, in
      Kind
      , select
      Set Kind
      , select the reference type node, and then click
      Select
      .
