editing a new diagram with nested components
« on: June 23, 2011, 05:48:02 pm »
hi,

i am new to Sparx EA, when i create a new component diagram it put some package elements at the top level. on double clicking it shows me the inner diagram. If i add new element to this inner level it also shows me the name of added item in the package element above.

Can i do similar thing for other package elements, how can i do that.

Thanks,
Sajjad

Sajjad,

Look for "Composite" in the forum (using the top left search button)

Thanks that helped, here is the secret

double click on any empty space in the diagram it will show properties then click on elements tab and make sure "show package contents" is checked.

It was quite strange ... it thought this would be a property per package/element.

On the other hand this feature can be quite usful on other element types as well.

Thanks,
Sajjad
