Hiding Package Details On An Element
« on: June 27, 2005, 08:38:03 am »
I've got a package containing components.  The root package contains four child packages each representing a functional domain of the architecture.  At the root I have a component diagram and in there I have links to components contained within a package.  The diagram will show the full name including package; is there anyway to turn this off as it chews up a lot of real-estate?

I use packages for a couple of reasons.  One is to show large functional boundaries and ownership.  Its also nice to use the packages in a larger diagram to illustrate the relationships between the packages (and not necessarily the fine grained components).

Thanks in advance.

I guess unchecking "Highlight foreign objects" in the diagram properties will do what you need.

Perfect, thank you.  I don't use this for all of my component diagrams, but for certain audiences its important to organize in packages and present high level diagrams with just the packages.  On others I have to cater the diagram with components and swimlanes and having the additional foreign element information just clutters the matter (swimline with the same name as the package).
