Creating a package

You can create a Package as a root Package (parent is Model) or as a child Package (parent is a Package).

To create a Package as a root Package:

1. From the Relationships Pane or the Packages Pane, right-click the Model icon, point to New, and then click Package.

To create a Package as a child Package:

1. From an appropriate pane, right-click the Package (to be parent), point to New, and then click Package.

To create a package through a class diagram:

1. On the Class Diagram toolbar, click the

Package button, and then click on the diagram in free space or within a Package.

If you click within a Package on the diagram, the Package is created as a child item of that Package.

2. Type the name of the Package, and then press the Enter key.

• When a new Package is created, its access permissions are set to that of its parent Model or Package. If the creator of the Package does not have Owner access permissions to the parent Package, they are give Owner access permissions in the new Package.

• You can create a Package only if you have Write access permissions to the parent Model or Package.

• When you delete a Package, Modeler deletes all items scoped by that Package.
