V2.0
This package is an extended version that redesigned the old package UML/SysML Sample and added new functions.
By using this package, it is now possible to achieve expressive power and editability on a par with UML/SysML tools in Next Design.
new function
-
The expressive power of UML diagrams and SysML diagrams has been improved, and the text display and text decoration in each diagram have been brought closer to the notation of UML and SysML.
- Can express stereotypes.
- Visibility and signatures of attributes and operations in class diagrams, and signatures of messages in sequence diagrams can be displayed and edited according to UML specifications.
- Relevant end names and multiplicity can be expressed in relation to class diagrams and block definition diagrams.
- You can display and edit the transition conditions and actions in the state machine diagram as text.
- You can switch the range expressed in text by setting the diagram unit.
-
Changed the suggestion list when associating messages in sequence diagrams with operations.
- You can also select the inheritance class of the destination lifeline type and the operation of the realization interface.
-
Ability to detect malformed models.
- You can check whether a class is specified as the inheritance source of the interface.
- You can check circular inheritance of classes.
- You can check if there are any classes that inherit the final class.
-
Supported some elements that could not be defined in the old package UML/SysML Sample.
- You can define data types and primitive types.
- Define flow ends and connectors in activity diagrams.
- You can define the nesting of internal block diagram parts.
Constraints lifted
- Class diagram
- Static/abstract attributes can now be expressed as text decorations on diagrams.
- It is now possible to display/edit related end names and multiplicity on the diagram.
- Attribute types/initial values, operation types/parameters, etc. can now be displayed/edited on the diagram.
- Sequence Diagram
- The operation from which the class is inherited can now be specified in the message.
- State machine diagram
- Triggers, guards, and effects can now be displayed/edited on the diagram.
- layout drawing
- Associated stereotypes (e.g. Deploy) can now be viewed/edited on diagrams.
- Requirement diagram
- Request ID can now be displayed/edited on the diagram.
- Block definition diagram
- It is now possible to display/edit related end names and multiplicity on the diagram.
- Internal block diagram
- It is now possible to display/edit related end names and multiplicity on the diagram.

1 About editing stereotypes
-
If you want to add a stereotype to an element with no stereotype set, you need to enter it from the property inspector.
-
Once entered, the labels on the diagram can be edited thereafter.
-
2 Representation of abstract types
-
With the default font, the Japanese part in the text is not italicized.
-
If you want to display Japanese in italic, please change the font to support italic display.
