MagicDraw Teamwork Server now integrates with LDAP servers. The integration authenticates MagicDraw users against the LDAP Server using the Simple User + Password combination or SASL authentication. The integration also supports the SSL/TLS protocol.

2. User Interface Modeling Diagram

User Interface Modeling enables you to build user interface prototypes with MagicDraw and export them as images or create web-based reports for presentation. User Interface Modeling diagram allow business analysts to easily gather information and shortens the work and design time for both designers and programmers.

With User Interface Modeling diagram, you can:

• create WYSIWYG User Interface prototypes in no time.
• integrate User Interface development with UML specifications.
• get fast feedback from prospective users with realistic items and use them in the next design.
• create web-based reports with the MagicDraw Report Wizard for navigating modeled application dialogs through web interface.

To work with the User Interface Modeling diagram:

Either click the User Interface Diagram button on the Diagram toolbar or select New Diagram > Custom Diagrams > User Interface Diagram on the Package or Model shortcut menu in the browser.

For more information about User Interface Modeling Diagram, see www.magicdraw.com/ui_modeling.

3. Script Engine

Script Engine in MagicDraw allows you to create your own script by using BeanShell, JRuby, JavaScript, or Jython. With Script Engine, you can control everything that is allowed in Open API, for example, transforming and manipulating models.
Script Engine comes with Professional, Architect, and Enterprise Editions starting from MagicDraw version 16.6 and greater.

4. Standard Profiles Improvements

MagicDraw 16.6 release includes significant changes in standard profiles and modules handling.

• All profiles and libraries bundled with MagicDraw family products are considered as standard/system resources. They are non-modifiable and essential for correct tool behaviors.
• Whenever you try to modify MagicDraw standard profiles and libraries, a warning will open informing you that standard profiles and libraries editing can cause version update or plug-in problems and the MagicDraw's core tool to malfunction.
• Standard/system profiles and modules have been added locally and therefore will not be added to Teamwork Server anymore. As standard profiles/modules are also non-modifiable, version control has been disabled to avoid confusion over multiple profiles usage/modification/update issues in Teamwork and at the same time to increase Teamwork performance as standard profiles will be not transferred via networks.
• MagicDraw has been enhanced with the ability to recognize different release versions (for example 16.5 and 16.6) control and correct project loads Every project now can distinguish which plug-in and profile version you have used to create it. This information is stored in XMI extensions. Whenever you try to open a project with missing or obsolete plug-ins or profiles, a warning will display, prompting you to install or update the missing resources. Missing resources will be selected in Resource Manager automatically.

5. Report Wizard Improvements

5.1 Report Profile
You can now store a Report Data (element scope, variables (formerly called "user defined fields"), etc.) in your MagicDraw project and share your report configurations through Teamwork Server.

Figure 3 - Report Profile in Containment Tree

5.2 Improved Report GUI
The User-Defined Field pane in the Report Wizard dialog has been removed and replaced with the flexible Variables dialog.

5.3 New Velocity Engine
The Velocity engine has been upgraded to version 1.6, enabling:
• performance improvement;
• error handling and messages.

5.4 Dialog Tool
Report Wizard generates reports according to the Velocity code written on the report templates. Now you can also rearrange the content or disable some diagrams in the report output using Dialog Tool. Dialog Tool enables you to modify a template and at the same time allows you to make decisions before generating a report. Dialog Tool, which is implemented as a custom tool, also allows you to generate a report with different contents.

5.5 HTML Conversion Improvement
HTML conversion is a component in the Report Wizard engine that converts HTML files to other document formats such as RTF, ODT, ODS, and ODP. The HTML conversion and font supports in Report Wizard have been available since version 15.0 and 16.0 respectively. The HTML conversion support in Report Wizard is limited to the MagicDraw HTML editor tag support only. Now, the HTML conversion has been extended to support new HTML output format, including nested HTML tags, tables, etc.
Note: OpenOffice.org documents do not support 'rowspan'.
Note: Open Document Presentation (ODP) does not support table.

5.6 SysML Use Case Diagram Support for Use Case Driven Templates
The Use Case Project Estimation and Use Case Specification templates have been enhanced to support SysML elements and diagrams.

5.7 $sorter.humanSort()
Report Wizard introduces a special sorting function $sorter.humanSort() that uses the natural order to sort strings, for example, "foo10" will be sorted after "foo2".

6. New HTML Editor

6.1 MagicDraw has been enhanced with a new HTML editor to edit HTML text. The new editor improves text editing capability and usability and allows you to preserve the text format when copying formatted text.

6.2 You can also use the HTML toolbar for editing the tagged value of the element on a symbol in a diagram.

To use the HTML toolbar for editing an element tag value:
1. Click the Text tagged value on a Class shape (Figure 4).
2. Then click it again. Tagged value will go into editing mode and the HTML toolbar will open (Figure 5).

7. Ecore Support

Previously MagicDraw metamodeling functionality supported only CMOF/EMOF modeling and export/import. Now the functionality has been extended to also support Ecore metamodeling and export.

7.1 Ecore Modeling
You can create Ecore metamodels using standard MagicDraw Class diagrams, with additional specification fields brought in by special Ecore profiles with DSL customization. You can use templates to create Ecore models from scratch.

7.2 Ecore Export
You can export your Ecore models to *.ecore format using the Ecore export feature. Class models, which are stereotyped with the Ecore profile stereotypes can be exported to the *.ecore file format.
To export an Ecore model:
• On the main menu, click File > Export To > EMF Ecore File.

7.3 Ecore Compatibility
The Ecore export file format is compatible with Eclipse v3.4 (Ecore libraries v2.4.x).

7.4 Validation
The MagicDraw validation framework has been enhanced with the ability to run the Validation rule suite for Ecore models during export. Simply select the Validate check box in the choose export file dialog to run the validation rule suite. The Validation rule suite allows you to validate elements that are illegal in Ecore.

8. Hints Associated to User's Actions

MagicDraw now provides hints to help you to easily use MagicDraw (Figure 6). Hints related to your actions will open and inform you about the functionality that is available in MagicDraw and show you how to perform some operations more effectively.

Hints are displayed in the lower right-hand corner of the MagicDraw application. Figure below shows an example of a hint.

10.5 Drag and Drop Improvements
10.5.1 Tooltip text
MagicDraw now displays a tooltip that shows supplementary information of what will happen whenever you drag any elements (Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 17).
10.5.2 Dragging a File to an Element
The improved drag-and-drop capability allows you to drag any files from your file system to any element in the browser or in a diagram. A hyperlink will be automatically created for the element to which the file is dragged, allowing you to open the file by double-clicking the element.
To drag a file on an element:
1. Select a file in your Explorer (Figure 13).
2. Drag it to the element in the browser or in a diagram in MagicDraw (Figure 14). A hyperlink to the file will be created.

Figure 14 show how a hyperlink from the Products package to the Products_description.doc file is created.

10.5.3 Drag and drop MagicDraw file on a diagram to open project
You can now drag MagicDraw project file from your file system and drop it on a diagram or any non-element. MagicDraw project will open (Figure 15).



Figure 15 - Dropping MagicDraw project file to diagram


10.5.4 Dragging an Image to an Element
You can now drag an image file from your file system to an element in the browser or in a diagram (Figure 16). The image will be set as the value of the Image property of the element (Figure 17).
The image will be set as a Stereotype icon if it is dragged to a Stereotype.



Figure 16 - Image was Dragged and Dropping to the Class Shape





Figure 17 - The Image Property in the Class Specification Dialog


10.5.5 Dragging Elements in the Specification Dialog
You can now drag any elements to any properties in the Specification dialog. For example, you can drag a Class element from the Containment tree to the Type property in the Operation Specification dialog. The Specification dialog will then assign that Class element as the type of the Operation element. In this case, the step-by-step example is as follows:

1. Open the Customer Class specification dialog, the Operations branch, and select the getProfile Operation.
2. Select the CustomerProfile class in the Containment tree () and drag it to the Type property area in the open Customer Class specification dialog, (Figure 18). The getProfile operation type will be assigned to the CustomerProfile class.




Figure 18 - Dragging Class to the Property in the Specification Dialog


10.5.6 Dragging elements from the Specification dialog
You can now drag any elements from the Specification dialog to a diagram or to the browser. For example:

1. Open the Class specification dialog.
2. Select User Class, which is assigned as the Base Classifier (Figure 19).
3. Either (i) drag it to a diagram in the empty diagram pane to create a User Class symbol.
4. Or (ii) drag it to the existing shape to create a new Attribute with Type.




Figure 19 - Dragging from the Customer Class Specification Dialog


10.5.7 Drag and drop Stereotype
You can now drag Stereotype from Browser or Diagram on any other element to apply it.
10.5.8 Drag and drop in Sequence diagram

• You can now drag an Operation from the browser to a Message in a Sequence diagram. The message will become a Call Message with once the operation has been assigned.
  NOTE: The Lifeline type must have/inherit this operation.
• Dragging a Signal to a Message in a Sequence diagram will convert the Message into a Send Signal Message and assign the Signal to the Message.
10.5.9 Drag-and-drop in State Machine Diagrams
You can now drag an Event element to a Transition element in a State Machine diagram. A Trigger with this Event will be created for that Transition element.
10.5.10 Drag-and-drop in Activity Diagrams
It is now possible to:

• Drag a Signal to an Activity diagram to create a Send Signal Action.
• Drag a Signal to a Send Signal Action to set or change the Signal.
• Drag an Event to an Activity diagram to create an Accept Event Action.
• Drag an Event to an Accept Event Action to set the Event.

10.6 Relations Changes Ownership when Client or Supplier is Moved to Other Owner
Some issues related to relationships have been addressed to improve usability. Now relationships will not get lost in Containment tree while changing the element ownership. Relationships will also be moved together with the client or supplier (or both) so that all the related elements can be grouped together in one place. This will also prevent unexpected dependencies on model partitioning.
For example, if you move two Classes which are connected to the Association relationship to another Package in the Containment tree, a question dialog will open, asking if you want to move the relationship as well (Figure 20).



Figure 20 - The Change Owner for Affected Relationships message

10.7 Adding Association between Read-only Classifiers
Adding new Association always creates two roles or properties at both ends that are owned by the attached Classifier by default. However, when one or both ends of the Association is or are not editable for some reasons for example, locked in Teamwork Server or located in a read-only profile/module), the properties will be owned by the Association itself. In this case, MagicDraw will display a warning informing you about the sometimes-unexpected issue of model creation (Figure 21, Figure 22).



Figure 21 - The Add Association Dialog for a Read-Only Classifier



Figure 22 - Add Association Dialog for Both Read-Only Classifiers

10.8 Port Improvements
It is now possible to specify the Provided/Required Interfaces for a Port even if the Port type is not specified.
When you add a Provided or Required Interface to a Port, the Select Port Type dialog will open (Figure 23) with the following options:
• Set Provided Interface as Port Type (available on Provided Interface creation only). The Provided Interface will be suggested as the Port Type.
• Create "dummy" port type automatically. Create a dummy port type and relations between the type and interface.
• Select or create a port type manually. The Select Port Type dialog will open to allow you to select or create a Port.




Figure 23 - The Select Port Type Dialog

10.9 Filter Button on the Browser Toolbar
To improve accessibility the Filter button has been added to the Containment Tree toolbar (Figure 24). Previously the Filter menu was accessible only from the Containment tree shortcut menu (Figure 25).
The Items Filter dialog allows you to choose what types of elements to be displayed in the Containment tree (Figure 26).

10.10 Floating Diagram Window
This release includes floating diagram windows that can be enabled by clicking the Floating command from the Diagram tab shortcut menu (Figure 27).



Figure 27 - The Floating Command on the Diagram tab shortcut menu

10.11 Window Interface Styles
Single Window Interface Style has been dropped, because of it poor usability. Now you can work in any of the following window interface styles:
• Single Window Interface (now called the JIDE interface style).
• Multiple Window Interface.
• On the Options menu, click Interface Style > Multiple Window or Single Window.

10.12 Use Module Dialog
The Use Module dialog has been optimized to allow you to select a module file either directly from the file system or from a predefined location (Figure 28).
Simply click the From file system button in the Use Module dialog to find standard MagicDraw profiles and model libraries easily.



Figure 28 - The Use Module Dialog

11. Copying/Opening Element URLs

You can now copy a project element URL to a clipboard and share it with other as a quick reference to model elements.

To copy a project element URL, do any of the following:
• Select Copy Element URL from the element shortcut menu in the Containment tree to copy the URL to a model element.

or
• Select the element symbol in a diagram and click Edit > Copy Element URL on the main menu to copy the URL to element symbol.

You can open any elements through their URLs by clicking the Open Element from URL command and the element will be highlighted in the Containment tree or in the diagram. Custom URL "mdel://" is registered into windows registry. Activating the URL in other applications will allow you to start MagicDraw, open the project (if possible), and select any elements. You can paste URLs from the clipboard to any MagicDraw diagrams. Hyperlinks also can hold URLs of any model elements.

12. «stereotype» Instead of <<stereotype>>

MagicDraw now supports standard stereotype notations. Stereotype notations in diagrams use the guillemets « » instead of symbols << >> (Figure 29).
However, when editing elements in a diagram, you can still enter the stereotype names between the << >> symbols.

Figure 29 - Stereotype Notation

13. New Quick Start User Perspective

The new Quick Start user perspective provides basic features dedicated for modeling. This perspective improves the user interface to enable a quick learning. Even though code engineering, transformations, and other advanced features are hidden, they can still be easily viewed in the Expert Mode of perspective.

To change a user perspective in MagicDraw: Click Perspectives > Perspectives on the Options main menu.

14. Merge Plugin

Merge Plugin has been enhanced with the ability to find value additions and deletions in multivalued tags in the same way as it does for ordinary multivalued UML metaproperties. Merge Plugin can track order changes in tags if the "Is Ordered" property of the tag specification is set to "True."

15. Teamwork Server Improvements

You can now select any of the following options when saving a teamwork project for the first time (Figure 30):
• Save a project locally. Changes made to a locally-saved project can be committed to Teamwork Server later.
• Save a local copy of the Teamwork project. The project will be saved on a disk and will not include any locking or version information. A local copy of the project cannot be committed to Teamwork Server.
• Commit the project changes to Teamwork Server.

To change the save option:
1. Click File > Save As on the main menu to open the Save Options dialog.
2. Select one of the three save options.
