Containment Link Use in Package Diagram [message #1779115] |

I am attempting to model a package diagram in Papyrus. That diagram should include a package, which itself is the parent of several other packages. I cannot make a "containment link" link to more than one package. For each link, a new containment link icon is dropped on the edge of the parent, however I believe that it is legal UML to have a "containment link" point out from a package toward multiple package children, e.g. to model a one-to-many containment relationship. It is possible that I'm wrong about the legality of this relationship, or about the failure of the tool, but I simply cannot find the mechanism to do this right.
Your help is appreciated.
Regards,
Gary

Carsten,
Thanks, I was hoping to branch a single link. I see now that I may be concerned about a cosmetic issue. I am able to create a package hierarchy, as shown in your screenshot, with multiple containment links. However, I am unable to recreate the attached screenshot from http://blog.ricksteiner.net/?cat=3
in that screenshot, on the right hand side of the package diagram, a single containment link is branched out from the "Cameras" package to connect to multiple child packages.

It looks cleaner to me, and so if it is possible, I'd like to achieve this. Any thoughts ?
Cheers,
Gary

This is a bit of a clumsy work flow, and it would be great if they could be merge to simply the act of moving and re-arranging elements.
However, it does achieve the desired result.
Thanks for the feedback.
I would suggest you write a bug against Papyrus to keep track of this. You can do so by following: this link
