package dependies

How could I design package diagrams. Can EA check, if there are any dependencies between the packages?
Thanks,

I'd like to see this too. One of the major missing features I see in EA right now is that it can't seem to trace dependencies, either within packages or across packages.

I have had the same issue where my Use Case entities and Requirements entities are stored in different packages to the diagrams.

I wanted to to produce a dependency report that would show which Packges contained the diagrams linked to a Requirement. I was only able to do this by using the automation interface and write some code in Excel that produces the dependency matrix similar to the EA one.

I also created a diagram that with Package associations so I could use the EA matrix. However, this is not an automatic activity and relies on the person doing th e modeling to remember to keep the diagram up to date.
