Create an alias
Create an alias to create a variable type that points to a node with a
NodeId
property.- InProject view, select the object or object type to contain the alias.
- InProperties, select and then selectAlias.TIP: Some objects may contain multiple aliases. For example, you can add multiple aliases to a Panel object.Alias#appears inPropertiesand contains theKindproperty.
- (optional) Mouse over the end of the alias name, select , and then enter a new name for the alias.
- InProperties, configure the alias:
- To configure the alias for a reusable object, create a dynamic link betweenKindand the relative reference node and then create a dynamic link betweenAliasand the source node.#Where#is the alias object number.
- To set the source at design time, create a dynamic link betweenAliasand the source node.#TheKindproperty value populates with a relative reference node automatically.
- To make the source settable at runtime, create a dynamic link betweenKindand a relative reference node.
For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.
