Sorting Packages in the Browser

Use the following steps to sort packages in the browser:

1 Create a new package in the browser and name it Temp.

2 In the browser, drag and drop all of the packages you want to sort into the Temp package.

3 In the browser, retrieve the packages one by one from the Temp package and place them back in the original location.

4 Delete the Temp package.

Note: Your new folder organization is temporary. If the folders are collapsed under the parent icon or Rose is shut down, the packages will be rearranged in alphabetical order the next time that the parent icon is expanded.

Using Drag-and-Drop in the Browser

The drag-and-drop feature allows you to move elements within the browser and from the browser to diagrams and specifications.

Specifically, you can use drag-and-drop to do the following tasks:

• Assign classes and interfaces to components
• Move class operations and attributes between classes
• Move class, sequence, and collaboration diagrams between packages
• Move component diagrams between component packages
• Move nested classes from one specification to another
• Place components and component packages on component diagrams
• Place classes, interfaces, and component packages on class diagrams
• Place objects, class instances (and class assignments) on interaction diagrams
• Relocate components and component packages between component packages
• Relocate classes, nested classes, use cases, interfaces, associations, and packages between packages
• Place activity diagram model elements on an activity diagram

Note: You cannot re-order elements on the browser.
