Creating links on a package diagram (UML Standard profile)
You can create Access, Dependency, Import, Nesting Link, Package Merge, Profile Application and Realization links on a Package Diagram. In addition, if you have added the SysML profile you can create Conform relationship links on a Package Diagram.
