UML support
Latest UML 2.2 specification support. MagicDraw includes the following UML 2.2 specification changes:
By default Literal Unlimited Natural is used for the Weight property in the Activity Edge element in the Activity diagram.
Changed the following multiplicity: ComponentRealization::realizingClassifier : Classifier [1] to [1.*].
Deleted the Representation role from the Information Item end of the Association between Information Item and Classifier.
Added the Start Object Behavior Action support in the Activity diagram.
Added the Result property to the following element specification dialog boxes: Clear Structural Feature Action, Remove Structural Feature Value Action, Add Structural Feature Value Action, and Structural Feature Action.
Removed association between Classifier and Classifier Template Parameter.
UML Interaction Overview diagram support. The Interaction Overview diagram focuses on the overview of the flow of control between Interactions. It is based on the Activity diagram notation.
Instance modeling improvements.
Adornments on a Link. Ability to show role names and navigability on the link symbol.
Slot type can be optionally displayed on Instance or Part shapes.
Slot can be selected in a diagram. This allows the deletion of a slot straight from the diagram and to attach a note to a slot.
Displaying specification value on the Instance Specification symbol.
Region name on a State symbol. Region name can be optionally displayed on the State symbol on a diagram.
Improved saving of stereotype information in XMI. Ability to choose options where to save applied stereotype information in XMI file. Information can be saved at the end of the file or inside the element information.
Recommended Java version
Recommended version of Java runtime is changed to 1.6.0_10 in MagicDraw 16.0.
MagicDraw Welcome screen
The Welcome screen is displayed in the MagicDraw desktop when all projects are closed. It helps to manage projects, provides quick access to the product descriptions, samples, the latest news and updates.
MagicDraw News Reader
Information about the latest MagicDraw events is accessible via the new MagicDraw News Reader. News is accessible from the MagicDraw 'Help' main menu.
Usability improvements
Hyperlinks creation from the element shortcut menu. Now hyperlinks can be created and edited straight from the element shortcut menu.
Value Specification support improvements:
Now you can create a standalone Value Specification in a model using the Browser shortcut menu.
Displaying Value Specifications in the Containment tree of the Browser.
Ability to assign Value Specifications to Tags.
Submitting a bug when application is unresponsive.
If MagicDraw becomes unresponsive, a separately executable tool is provided for analyzing the status of the process to aide in bug submission. In these situations, manually start the submitbug.exe file (located in the bin folder) and follow directions.
Dynamically change heap size within application.
The java heap size may be changed directly in the out of memory 'Error' dialog box.
Introducing invisible constraints.
A new capability to define invisible constraints has been introduced. To make a constraint invisible, apply the <> stereotype to the constraint. Invisible constraints may be used while creating validation constraints, in DSL customization, or in other modeling cases.
Diagramming improvements
Changing the diagram type. The diagram type may be changed to another type of diagram if both diagram types are compatible. Note: diagram elements are not converted.
Element creation from the diagram toolbar. A new shape or path can be created by dragging it from the toolbar to the diagram (click on diagram is not necessary).
Complete coverage mode for group selection. The 'Complete coverage mode for group selection' button is added to the diagram toolbar. This mode allows the selection of exact parts of a diagram by selecting only elements that are completely covered.
Improved label layout in the diagram. The following label positions are improved for paths, relationship ends, and shapes:
Default label positions.
Label positions after using 'Reset label positions' function.
Label positions after moving a path, shape, or related element.
Centerline support for 'container' shapes; like Swimlanes or Structured Activities has been improved in the Activity diagram by fixing known bugs.
Model Merge improvements
Diagram merge improvements. It is now possible to merge diagram changes. Merged diagrams and symbols may be optionally highlighted after the merge for detailed reviewing.
Diagram difference viewer improvements.
Differences in diagrams are highlighted when opened from the Merge window.
Diagram printing from the diagram difference viewer.
Synchronized scrolling and zooming of changed corresponding diagrams from different contributors.
Improved readability of changes by grouping some low-level changes to more user-friendly ones.
The Show Auxiliary Resources button has been added at the top of the Merged Result tree to show or hide the profiles, modules with applied <> stereotype in the Merged Result tree (for example, UML Standard Profile).
Merge window user interface improvements:
The Merge window has been reorganized. The Change details panel is moved to another location and is now visible all the time.
Now the Specification and Change details panels can be displayed as floating windows or maximized so it is easier to analyze merged models.
Specification panel allows navigating to the referenced elements in the Merged Results tree.
Easier navigation from the original to the new location (and vice versa) for elements that have been moved.
DSL support improvements.
Model elements and their properties are displayed and merged using DSL rules, specified in MagicDraw DSL customization artifacts.
DSL improvements
Ability to group elements in the Containment tree shortcut menu, the 'New Element' command, and provides the optional 'category' in DSL customization.
Code Engineering improvements
Ability to enter rules that help to decide if an association or attribute must be created on reverse.
Sorting reversed classes according to the classpath.
