"Show Package Contents" stopped working
« on: August 15, 2006, 10:37:40 am »
Package contents used to be displayed all on my diagrams.  I "upgraded" to new builds several times, so I'm not sure when they stopped being displayed on new diagrams.   (Yes, the Show Package Contents option is checked on the diagram properties.)  Package contents still are displayed in old diagrams.  

Has anybody else had this problem?  I submitted a bug report, but I may have missed a step for some upgrade or some other user error.

I think I remember seeing this a few builds ago - sometime in the 780s or so. I also think it may have been only on certain types of diagrams, or for certain types of package contents, although I am less sure of my memory in this case.

If I'm correct, this was addressed fairly recently. Take a search through the release notes in the Latest News section of the forum. You might find something relevant there. If you do, make sure your various updates have taken you to at least the version identified in the notes.
No, you can't have it!

I am at 6.1.792 already, so I should have the fix that went into build 780.  Was I supposed to do something to repair projects I created when I was using 779?

No. You must not repair anything. Maybe you should try to check system integrity (Tools/Data Management). If that does not work, you should contact Sparx support.

I am having a very similar issue with "Show Package Contents"; I reported this Aug-14th and haven't heard back (except submission ACK) as of yet.

In my case I'm trying to use this for the first time, so I don't know if I'm suffering from misunderstanding, false expectations, incompetence (on my part) or an issue with EA (Enterprise, V 6.1, Build 790).

Can anyone confirm for me that Element 'Requirements' should indeed display for an Activity Diagram?

(For the record, System Integrity is clear except for a handful of "Add Foreign Key Information" warnings that I haven't tracked down yet)

I can confirm that they shouldn't.  The main elements that appear on Activity diagrams (Activities and Actions) don't support showing compartments.
