Package diagram (UML Standard profile)
A Package Diagram is a high-level diagram that pictorially represents how models, profiles, packages and model libraries interact with each other to achieve your project implementation.
Create a Package Diagram from the Model, or from a Package - right-click the Model or Package, and select > > > .
When you create a Package Diagram, Modeler adds a frame to the diagram and links that frame to the Package Diagram itself.
The SysML Profile extends the Package Diagram by adding View and Viewpoint items, and the Conform relationship to the diagram.
You can determine the default presentation of UML Standard profile items when they are added to a Package Diagram through the diagram View Options - right-click the diagram background, and then click View Options. After adding an item to a Package Diagram, you can change its presentation through the standard Modeler View Options - right-click the item, and then click View Options.

.A Package Diagram shows the following items.
You can create an Access relationship between any of the Package Diagram items.
