UML package

[Kasper G. Christensen]

Hi

Hope this is the rigth group.

I'm new to drawing UML in Visio (2007) and I'm wondering how to draw a
package with classes inside. I can't seem to make the package-symbol
higher, only wider. In "Model Explorer" I can place classes in packages,
but I can't visualize this in my class diagram.

I would like to be able to draw something like this:

or this:

Best regards

Would you care to try out my
http://www.sdl.sandrila.co.uk/
which can create the above UML diagrams correctly, the package shape
can be resized to allow classes to be added to the package.
The shapes can be used standalone or with the included addon to
increase functionality.

Thank you for your suggestion, but since I'm currently just in need of a
few packages on a single drawing, I'd rather not download and install
some 3rd party software, which I later have to convince my boss to pay
for

I have just drawn a simple box around my classes, and placed a textbox
on top of it to write the package-name. It's not so elegant to work with
when resizing or moving objects (but hey - connections aren't either,
and I have many more of them ;-)), but it looks just fine, and is OK for
the time being.
