copying a subpackage

[klausmedk]

Hi!

I need to copy a sub package (including elements) from one package to another. How can i do this.

I need to copy a package because i have to document different stages in my design, which implies that one representation of each object is not enough because when updating that instance its properties will be updated in all diagrams where it it located.

I don't know if there is a copy feature for packages.  What does exist is an export/import feature.  You can (1) export the package with all elements, (2) move the original package, (3) import the exported package back into the project and (4) make changes.  This does seem to be alot of extra work.  What this does provide though, is a way to turn the project into ascii code (XML) and save in a csv type repository such as wincvs or Visual Source Safe for versioning purposes you are originaly after.

Hope this helps.
