Namespaces (and element name uniqueness)

[Modesto Vega]

II have the following question about namespaces. Let's assume that I have the following repository structure

Root node
-----Package/View 1
-----------Package 1.1
------------------Package 1.1.1
-----------------------Element 1
-----------------------Element 2
------------------Package 1.1.2
-----------------------Element 3
-----------------------Element 4
-----Package/View 2
-----------Package 2.1
------------------Package 2.1.1
-----------------------Element 5
-----------------------Element 6

Is there a way I can configure namespaces in Sparx to skip a level - e.g., I would like my namespace to look like Root:Package/View 1:Package 1.1:Element 1?

I don't think so.

Thanks Thomas, this is my working assumption but I still have the faint hope that somebody proves both of us wrong.

To omit a subordinate Package from a namespace definition, select the  'Develop > Source Code > Options > Suppress Namespace' ribbon option; to include the Package in the namespace again, deselect the ribbon option.

So that's a new feature with V16, I guess.

Thank Eve. Thomas this option is available on v15 - please see https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/15.0/model_domains/namespaces.html - but I think I tried it and did not appear to do what we wanted, although we will try again.

If the behaviour has changed on v16, it may give us another excuse to upgrade. At the moment we are waiting for v16.1.

I even discovered it in the 13.5 docs. Well, not really my subject... Sometimes it pays off to keep silent ;-)
