Various elements not showing in the package browse

[kelly_sumrall]

While experimenting, I added a new sequence element to a package.  It does not show in the package browser, but does show in the documentation and in the database.  I don't want to delete it from the database for fear of braking a relation.  Im I missing something?  How can I keep my project clean when the elements don't show in the project browser (explorer)?

I have actually found the 'Searching a Project' task while reading the documentation.  Imagine that.  I am still curious about the elements not displaying in the browser though.  They are sequence elements.  Is this a bug or a feature?  Seriously, I have quite a few use cases and sequence diagrams for each.  I want to re-use the same elements in the diagrams instead of creating new ones with the same name.  This is very distracting in the documentation.  Is there a technique I haven't discovered to re-use a sequence element in different diagrams?

Hello,

Sequence object that are created on a sequence diagram are not shown in the project browser by design, and it is not possible to reuse them again in another diagram.  However if you create an object in another type of diagram (like class diagram) you can use drag-drop or Ctrl drag-drop (depending on how you have set your 'Auto-Instance' flag on the Options- Diagram tab) into a sequence diagram and only the one physical object is used.

Hope this helps.
