Drag and Drop Add To Package
« on: July 26, 2007, 03:17:00 am »
Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find anything about it by searching or browsing.

Is there a way to get EA to add new elements dropped on to a Package in a diagram into the actual package.

For example I create a Package in my class diagram, a new package is added as a child of the package containing the diagram.  I then drag a new Class from the toolbox and drop it on the new Package in the diagram.  A new class is created and appears to be contained in the new package from the diagram perspective, that is if I move the Package the Class moves with it, so the concept of the class being contained in the package is recognised by the diagram.  However when I look in the Project Browser the new class is added to the parent package of the diagram. I have to move the class in Project Browser to place it in the right package.  This is not very intuitive.

Can't verify this at the moment. But if it behaves that way I'd report it as a bug.
