title: Component Parts inside of Components with Enterprise Architect
body: <p>I'm attempting to create a diagram like this (taken from <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd409390.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this MS page</a>): </p>

  <p>It shows multiple levels of component diagrams and connections between those multiple levels.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to model a system with a lot of different deliverers. There will be a high-level component diagram which is based more on features, and shows what all the features require, and how they're interconnected. </p>
  
  <p>Then inside each feature will be these parts that show more detail about the components, essentially all the modules that make up that feature.</p>
  
  <p>In EA (Enterprise Architect), I can create a component and show all the interconnects, and I can create a component as a child diagram, but the ports of the parent diagram does not propagate to the child diagram, so what I'd really be left with will be a bunch of unconnected ports for the child  diagram - granted if named appropriately, it may be obvious how they are connected.</p>
  
  <p>But since I'm presenting this to a large audience, I'd like to have as little assumptions as possible, which is why I'm looking for this method.</p>
