Model General page

The General page of the model property sheet displays the following properties:

Property	Description
Name	The name of the item which should be clear and meaningful,
	and should convey the item's purpose to non-technical users
Code	The technical name of the item used for generating code or
	scripts, which may be abbreviated, and should not generally
	include spaces
Comment	Descriptive label of the model
File name	Location of the model file. This box is empty if the model has
	never been saved
Author	Author of the model. You can insert a name, a space or
	nothing. If you insert a space, the Author field in the title box
	remains empty. If you intentionally leave the box empty, the
	Author field in the title box displays the user name from the
	Version Info page of the model property sheet
Version	Version of the model. You can use this box to display the
	repository version or a user-defined version of the model.
	This parameter is defined in the display preferences of the
	Title node
XML language	Current XML language for the model
Default diagram	Diagram displayed by default when opening the model
