I would like to be able to: 

Share designs or parts of designs.  One case is where Designer1 designs some functionality based on a set of classes, including Class Diagrams, Sequence Diagrams and State Diagrams.  Somebody else (Designer2) then gets ready to design another feature, largely based on my design.  If Designer1 wishes to "share" his entire design, he can save the whole project.  However, 
1 - If Designer1 wants to share part of it (e.g., something within one Folder), there is no way to do this? 
2 - Other than copying the entire Designer1's .XML project, and then making changes directly to the new project, there isn't a way for Designer2 to "import" the Design1 into a Folder.   (It would be best if this "import" would be as read only so that he doesn't change it by accident and then he can "Use" it)? 

Another case, is where a team uses some 3rd party class library (e.g., ACE).  Same thing here - I'd like to build the list of classes from ACE once, and then let other designers use it.
