### Create Alias

In addition to normal copies, iCalamus also supports virtual copies, which are named Alias here. An alias is basically a copy which behaves exactly as the original. If you change text in a text frame, you will automatically change the aliases of that text frame, too. This is e.g. very cool for multiple copies of business cards. But it works vice versa, as well: If you change the content of an alias frame, the original frame will be changed too (as well as any other existing alias frames). Structurally speaking, an alias isn't much more than a frame with a reference to its original, so it doesn't need much memory. This is very cool for multiple copies of large objects in a document.

Hint: There is no mother-child relation between the original frame and an alias frame. They are completely identical. If you change one, you change them all.
