Add a Package To a Model

Return to Introduction  Previous page  Next page

A Package is a container of model elements, and is displayed in the Project Browser window as the 'folder' icon familiar to Windows users. Package contents are arranged alphabetically.

In the Project Browser window click on a package and, in the Project Browser window toolbar, click on the New Package icon NewPackage.

Enterprise Architect displays a prompt for the package name.

Note:

This prompt also contains the Automatically add new diagram option for automatically creating a diagram for the package, which defaults to selected. This is very a useful feature, but for the purposes of this introduction deselect the checkbox against the option.

Type in a name and click on the OK button. Enterprise Architect adds the new package subordinate to the package you selected.
