That worked a charm :-) Wonder why Sparx is not able to create a documentation this way (actually I don't). Alas, thanks for making this available to humans ;-)

Many thanks WorkingMatt you beat me to it!

Not being able to use Packages to subdivide the profile into logical areas, has caught me out too. The only package I always use is for Enumerations used to type tagged values.

Not being able to use packages within <<profile>> package is a right pain especially with large MDGs, ... unless someone out there knows a way to make it work?

Models are great!
Correct models are even greater!

I've seen people use subpackages in profile, and apparently they didn't have any issues with it. I generally don't use subpackages because I noticed once that there was a problem with that.
This problem might have been solved for several years, but I didn't try it since.

An alternative is to use a diagram instead of a package to create your profile xml from.
That comes with it's own challenges (huge diagram, and sometimes you loose the default colors, if EA hasn't rendered the complete diagram)

I use subpackages for storing the metaclasses (and other stuff; but not for diagram proiles). However, the stereotypes must be on the <<profile>> level.
