  Validation Performance Improvements Validation Performance Improvements

  Validation Performance Improvements. Running the validation on the entire model or a selected part is 2-5 times faster, depending on the model, than in 2022x Refresh1.

  Table Performance Improvements Table Performance Improvements

  Table Performance Improvements. Opening a table is now significantly faster than in 2022x Refresh1. Tables with a large number of rows and columns (especially custom columns) will have noticeably decreased opening times.

New Sync with Excel Options New Sync with Excel Options

New Syncing with Excel File Options

Syncing with Excel files in tables is now improved with additional options:

• Skipping empty rows and/or columns upon import. If your Excel file contains any purposely created empty rows or columns, you can now skip them instead of stopping the import at the empty row or column, allowing you more control over the data import.

All data in the Excel file, including data following the empty row No. 5, is imported to the modeling tool. 

• Color marking modified data upon export. You can now color-mark exported table data based on its changes. This allows you to easily review data changes in the Excel file.

Exported table data is color-marked based on its changes. Red indicates removed, blue - updated, and green - added data.

• Mapping elements by ID upon export. From now on, you can map elements by ID upon export, which allows you to export new additional table data to a synced file without overwriting previously existing content in the file.

Check user permissions row is added to the synced Excel file Constraints in Generic Table without overwriting the data already existing in the file. 

• Syncing data in Plain Text or HTML upon import/export. You now have the option to import/export data in HTML (default) or Plain Text via the Sync Plain Text and Import Plain Text check box options, allowing you to choose the data format for the import/export without affecting the styling specified in the file.

The Sync Plain Text check box in the Excel/CSV Sync Options dialog and the Import Plain Text check box in the Excel/CSV Import dialog.

Manipulate Legends without Diagram Lock

You can now temporarily activate or deactivate a Legend via the Suspended/Active toggle button, allowing you to preview a diagram or table with or without adornments of a Legend without making permanent changes.

Automated Package Structure Creation Automated Package Structure Creation

Automated Package Structure Creation

You can now easily create additional package structures you may require in your model. Previously, this could have been achieved by copy-pasting an existing package structure. Now you can do that efficiently by defining your package structure configurations and then creating those structures via the Create Package Structure action.

The package structure configuration element SubsystemPackages defines the subsystems package structure for a Block element.
This subsystems package structure is created for the Block element Subsystem 3 Design via the Create Package Structure action.

New File New File

New File Exchange Format for Server Projects (Technology Preview)

Until now, .mdzip files were used for swapping projects in disconnected environments; however, this format is not ideal as there are issues with slow performance and project structural changes. We wanted to solve both problems to ensure faster project export and import while retaining the same project structure. Therefore, we present a technology preview of a new file exchange format: .szip. This format can be used for project export with or without used projects, adding a project as a new server project, and updating a project from a local project. We encourage our users to try out this format, which allows faster model transfer. Do not hesitate to share your feedback with us!

TWC Data Markings TWC Data Markings

Teamwork Cloud Data Markings in MagicDraw

Teamwork Cloud data markings are now shown in Open Server Project / Manage Project and Use Server Project dialogs in MagicDraw. Additionally, a check is performed to ensure that users are not trying to open or use a project with a higher access level than they are assigned, in which case a notification is displayed.

Enhanced Set as Latest Functionality

The Set as Latest functionality was updated and now allows users to set a specific version as the latest in another branch. Therefore, it is now possible to quickly set a particular version of the branch to be the latest in the trunk without time-consuming merging processes.

New Select Branch... option of the Set as Latest functionality.

Pre-merge check Pre-merge check

Pre-merge Check of Project Permissions

We introduced the ability to check permissions before merging to avoid project merge delays due to delays in the delivery of error messages about insufficient permissions. The Check Permissions button is now available in the Merge Projects dialog, allowing users to see if the merge will be possible.

Recursive search Recursive search

Recursive Global Element Usage Search

Previously, it was only possible to search for element usages individually, which is not an optimal solution in many cases. With 2022x Refresh2, we are introducing the Used By in Server Recursively option for the Search in Server action. Used By in Server Recursively works similarly to Used by in Server, except it searches for usages of the selected element and all its child elements.

Standard Profiles Migration

To successfully migrate from 2022x Refresh1 to 2022x Refresh2, Power’By users need to upgrade their standard profiles. To help them accomplish this, we have provided a dedicated filter that allows users to select standard profiles and migrate them in bulk.

Cut references Cut references

Cutting References If a Used Project Is Not Found

If users try to open a main project and its used project or projects are not found, it is possible to remove the used project or projects and cut all references. This way, users can still work on the main project.

Upcoming Updates

Important updates coming with the next major version release:

• OpenJDK version change. Desktop applications (MagicDraw, Cameo Systems Modeler, Cameo Enterprise Architecture, Magic Software Architect, Magic Cyber Systems Engineer, Magic Systems of Systems Architect) and Teamwork Cloud will only run using OpenJDK 17.0.7+7 version. 
• JavaScript Nashorn scripting removal. The JavaScript Nashorn language usage is deprecated with the intention of removing it from the next major version. Please use JavaScript Rhino instead. Learn more about the deprecated JavaScript Nashorn >>
• Record Macro functionality discontinuation. The Record Macro functionality will be discontinued in the next major version release.
