SysML Plugin 2022x Refresh1 brings several improvements to Item Flow management, which include:
Selecting diagrams to update flows. From now on, a new Item Flow realization does not end up with unexpected results in existing diagrams (previously, the flow may have been updated or not), as a simple diagram update control mechanism is introduced across the project. The Item Flow Manager dialog and the Create/Edit Item Flow wizard are now enriched with the ability for you to choose which diagrams with the realizing elements to update.
A quick way to show/hide flowing items in a diagram. Display/hide the flowing items quickly using the dedicated action in the smart manipulator.
Element type representation in the Item Flow Direction selection. Selecting the direction for the Item Flow in the Create/Edit Item Flow wizard is now easier as the icons indicating element types are displayed next to the element names, allowing you to identify the sender and receiver more easily.
Auto-remove not realized Item Flows. You can now specify the newly introduced Remove Not Realized Item Flows SysML project option to automatically remove Item Flows after the last element that realizes them is deleted. Additionally, you can run the validation to check whether there are any Item Flows in the model that are not realized.
In addition to performing requirements verification in Requirement tables, now you can also carry it out in Instance tables. While the verification in a Requirement table allows you to perform the analysis for a single instance set as the context, the verification in an Instance table allows you to perform the analysis for multiple instances at once via the Enable Patterns-Based Verification option. It allows you to analyze multiple instances conveniently and efficiently.

New validation rules
New validation rules
New validation rules. The new features listed above are supported with additional validation rules.
The Invalid Containment Markings rule checks if the Containment Markings match the Data Markings of owned elements.
The Missing Data Marking checks if there are elements that are specified to have Data Markings in the Sensitive Element Types project option but do not have any Data Markings added.
When a property is typed by a sensitive element, the Inconsistent Data Markings (Property) validation rule checks whether the property has a matching Data Marking or if the sensitivity level of the added Data Marking is not lower than the sensitivity level of the Data Marking added to the type.

Other Improvements
The Product Line Engineering Plugin is now split into two plugins: the Variability Core Plugin, which provides technical mechanisms and functions for various PLE and Data Marking activities, and the Product Line Engineering Plugin, which provides Model-Based Product Line Engineering method support for the user.
The Project Merge Plugin is no longer pre-installed, so you will not be receiving license expiration notifications if the plugin is not used. In addition, you no longer need the Project Merge Plugin to execute project comparison, element and content history review, as this functionality is now part of the built-in Merge Core Plugin. The Project Merge Plugin is now only required for project merging functionality.
A new UML Invalid Redefinition validation rule has been introduced to the UML correctness constraints validation suite. It checks whether a property redefines the inherited property of the owner classifier. Learn more about UML validation rules >>

MagicDraw Professional Java Edition Floating License and MagicDraw Professional Java Edition Seat License. Java Code Engineering will be available in the modeling tool Enterprise editions. For customers with active software assurance (ALC), the upgrade to the Enterprise edition will come at no cost.
JRuby scripting language. Any previously used scripts written in JRuby need to be rewritten in a different built-in scripting language. Otherwise, you can manually add JRuby to the modeling tool to continue using the existing JRuby scripts.
The Teamcenter Integration plugin. Starting with version 2022x, the Teamcenter Integration plugin is no longer available. You may continue to use your perpetual license of the product in accordance with the terms of your license agreement. The support for the product will be provided until the end of your current maintenance support subscription.
If you are tired of seeing progress bars while performing various operations in the tool, you can now use the Evaluate Operation Performance functionality, which allows you to view performance diagnostics that help determine the reasons behind degraded tool performance if it is caused by the execution of expressions (e.g., derived properties, smart packages, legends, validation rules) defined in the model. You can also analyze the building of matrixes and tables.
Additionally, you can now see the language recommendations based on their performance. The recommendations are visible via the 'recommended' indication and the performance indicator icon in the language selection menu. The icon color reflects the performance: green for fast (Binary, Structured Expression, Groovy), yellow for medium, and red for slow. It allows you to see the languages' performance when choosing one for your operations and make an informed decision.
Installation file for Apple M1/M2. 2022x Refresh1 release provides two different installation files for macOS based on its processor architecture: in addition to the x86 one, now there is also a separate installation file for the one based on ARM (i.e., Apple M1). It is bundled with ARM architecture Java. The modeling tool runs up to 2-3 times faster with ARM architecture Java on Apple M1.
A new UI Font environment option is now available, allowing you to change the default font the application should be displayed in. This change also supports the correct display of non-Latin scripts.
The Standard/Expert UI modes are now removed from the Structured Expressions dialogs. Instead, the dialogs are now fully featured by default without the need to switch between modes.
From now on, you can create project disclaimer configurations to display custom disclaimers upon opening a project. The disclaimers can contain any information you want project users to be aware of before opening the project. Learn more about project disclaimer configurations >>
Instead of displaying individual error notifications of the same type, they are now grouped based on their type (expression creation failure, expression evaluation failure, model change and diagram load in expressions), allowing a more compact display of notifications (see the image below).
The 2022x Refresh1 version of the modeling tool can show custom announcements to users. Managed through Teamwork Cloud Admin, these announcements can contain information on server-wide upgrades, project-specific deadlines, or any other important news. An announcement is displayed in the modeling tool UI until a user acknowledges it by closing.
