Renaming types

You can rename a type dictionary or change other dictionary settings by editing the type properties.

Important: We recommend that you do not use spaces in type names, especially if two or more type names start with the same word. We also recommend that you do not rename the types in the Core or Opinions libraries or change their default match attributes.

To rename a type

  1. In the library tree pane, select the type dictionary you want to rename.
  2. Right-click your mouse and choose Type Properties from the context menu. The Type Properties dialog box opens.
  3. Enter the new name for your type dictionary in the Name text box.
  4. Click OK to accept the new name. The new type name is visible in the library tree pane.
