Switching between nicknames

The names and documentations of model elements are language specific. This means that, the change you make applies only to a specific nickname. Once you have switched to another nickname, the names and documentations of model elements will be updated to show the definition under the new nickname.

To switch between nicknames, select Modeling > Nicknames and then select a nickname to switch to from the toolbar.
