Eric,
I see what you mean by the subpackage being moved into the super package, and I think this is actually good. The other way (by putting the diagram outside the super-package), my packages doesn't get moved inside the browser. If the package is already under the super package then this doesn't cause a problem. But if its a package that was under a different tree structure and that you want to move it under that particular package then it could become useful. Of course you could easily do this by just using the browser. My preference would be that the class diagram would respond like the the browser when moving a package on top of another (move the package from the old path to the new path if it is not already there).
Also I have Rose 2001 and it does the same thing like Rose98 it seems, *but won't drop directly onto the super-package in the diagram*. So if you do it like this you then have to drag and drop it again outside the diagram like you said.
Thanks guys,
Marc

This may just be Rose 98, but the trick to putting a package into
another package is a little more complicated than what Mr. Hanslip
wrote:
1. Drag the super-package from the browser to the (class) diagram.
2. Stretch it.
3. Drag-and-drop the sub-package to a place in the diagram *outside* the
super-package.
4. Drag the sub-package onto the super-package.
Dragging from the browser and dropping directly into the super-package
has annoying side-effects (in Rose 98, at least: the sub- is moved into
the super-package in the *browser*, but won't drop directly onto the
super-package in the diagram).
