How do I visualize a root node in a package diagram?
« on: May 03, 2024, 06:48:04 pm »
I have created a package diagram and can drag-and-drop package (and "view") elements from the Project Browser into the diagram to visualise them but this does not work for Root Nodes. Is this a bug?

Sparx would say no.  That's because Root Nodes are NOT packages.  Packages (other than Root nodes)  have a t_package entry and a related t_object entry.  Root nodes have only a t_package entry.

So in the words of the film "Cool Hand Luke", "it cayn't be durn".
