Element visibility and used package #990

Open HBSR opened 6 years ago

HBSR commented 6 years ago

I have organized the profile I am working on in different "sub" profiles and used a Package hierarchy diagram to specify dependencies ("use" type) between them, since Profile is a Package specialization. I don't find how I can make visible in a Profile Diagram a public element from a "used" profile.

I have tried to use "element Import" but it is then regarded as a "Metaclass" (no difference between "Metaclass Reference" and 'Element Import" ) which makes it impossible to use other relationships than "Extension".... and I would like to use Association... All this to make the Profile readable and maintanable ....

... and if, as a palliative, I do refer to the imported element through an extension relationship, it makes it impossible for the "pointer" to refer to another UML base class .... and therefore to associate it to other local stereotypes through extensions of the UML association metaclass...
