News for Developers

Released on: December 4, 2017

In this release, new APIs have been added. Additionally, the UML metamodel and the profile have been updated.

Open API is available for:

Creating text with element references, setting, and getting text from elements by calling the com.nomagic.magicdraw.elementreferenceintext.ElementPropertyRichTextManager class. Learn more >>
Adorning an element in a diagram by using the com.nomagic.magicdraw.annotation.Annotation object. Learn more >>
Controlling when the validation rule must be executed, as well as what to validate and how it must be validated by implementing the com.nomagic.magicdraw.validation.ValidationRule interface. Learn more >>
A validation rule to check and annotate individual presentation of elements (symbols) in diagrams by calling the extendingcom.nomagic.magicdraw.validation.DiagramValidator class. Learn more >>
Refactoring RepresentationTextCreator. As the com.nomagic.magicdraw.uml.RepresentationTextCreator.class is no longer compatible with earlier versions of a modeling tool, all plugins using methods or fields of RepresentationTextCreator and were compiled with a MagicDraw API version earlier than 19.0 beta should be recompiled before using the plugins with MagicDraw 19.0 beta or later.

The SysML profile is updated due to changes in SysML 1.5:
- Added new concept of Abstract Requirement, allowing you to extend the Requirement concept and base it on any kind of model element. Learn more >>
Added the UAF profile, as the UAF framework is supported now. It implements the latest OMG standard version and contains complete support of all domains and views, including:
- New Strategic, Personnel, Standards, Project, Security diagrams, tables, and matrices.
- New Traceability diagrams.
- New Parametric diagrams (DoDAF, MODAF, NAF, and NAF 4 also have them).
Updated the BPMN2 profile to support UML for BPMN Processes.

There are no changes.
