Alias variables can be defined as abbreviations for the longer complete way of defining information from the document codes that are selected for the document in question. These aliases are used automatically to create compatibility with old variables connected to drawing classes and drawing types.
Examples of legacy alias variables are listed in the table below.

For new masks, please do not use these legacy variables, since they limit the functionality to a legacy level.
Please note however, that the possibility to define aliases is general and can be used for arbitrary variables, not only the old variables that are described above. This means that it is perfectly possible for you to invent new variables of your own in this way that can work differently in different projects. Manual configuration of aliases is considered an advanced feature. A complete detailed description is however available in the Technical details sub-topic, more specifically in the Preset Aliases compatibility feature sub-topic of that.
