Changing the type of an element can be done by selecting the element in a diagram and then using the menu
Element|Advanced|Change type...

Just beware that you cannot change from/to each element type.
Packaging Component may be one of those unsupported element types.

The problem here is that a Packaging Component is rather package than an element. You will need to do that tediously either the manual or (with probably the same programming effort) the scripting way.

That's what I thought.
Now It's time for the tedious job ;)

Hi
I've found a solution to switch for a composite to a element or reverse.
Just clik right on the élement and select advanced >composite.
It's done.
