• The Copy-Paste functionality is now improved. When you copy one cell and paste it into another cell, the element references are created to the existing model element. When you want to clear the pasted column (by pressing Delete), only the references (if editable) will be removed. 
  

Beginning with version 19.0, Cameo Systems Modeler will be able to link and share data using Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) integration. This means:

• The modeling environment works smoothly in the IBM Jazz ecosystem.
• Easy linking between different project lifecycle artifacts residing in different tools.
• The ability to see detailed information of linked artifacts without switching between different tools.

Please note, Cameo Data Hub is required to use OSLC integration.

Forward Compatibility

Occasionally, a new service pack for a modeling tool is released while a team is working on a project. Some team members will upgrade their tool versions to the latest immediately, while other members will still use an earlier tool version. Beginning with Version 19.0, situations like this are handled by supporting forward compatibility. This enables all team members to work with different service pack versions if they do not all upgrade to the latest version at the same time.

When creating a new SysML Allocation Matrix, you can choose Definition or Usage mode. Accordingly, these modes display Allocate relationships either between Activities and Blocks or Actions and Part Properties. By default, the Create SysML Allocation Matrix dialog (see the figure below) appears each time you create a new SysML Allocation Matrix in SysML projects. Differently, when creating a new SysML Allocation Matrix in the MagicGrid project, the usage allocation matrix is created by default. You can change that by specifying the SysML Allocation Matrix Mode option value in the Project Options dialog.

Cross project refactoring

This feature allows you to move elements from the main project to a used one without losing references. When you work on a project for a long time, it's usual for the project to evolve to the stage when some components tend to get a library type or reusability flavor. A new cross project refactoring feature allows you to simply drag-and-drop selected elements from the main project to a project residing in Project Usages. All of the relationships that the elements have had still remain. This new feature is also beneficial for users who need to move elements from the main project to a used one frequently.

Change Sets

A change set is a set of locally made changes to a server project. You may specify several sets for your project and commit sets one by one. For example, this feature is useful when you are working on a server project and get a request for an immediate change. You can suspend your changes, complete the immediate task and commit the changes, and then resume your work on the previously suspended changeset.

Managing project usages

You can now configure project usages for one or several selected used projects at a time. In only one dialog box you can:

• Control notifying users about new used projects versions
• Add new projects
• Remove used projects
• Start directly using indirectly used projects
• Change the version of a used project
• Review the information of a selected used project.
• Reset changes to a selected used project.

Additionally, in this dialog you can preview any changes applied to your project without closing the dialog.

Hidden packages

Starting with version 19.0, the Hidden Packages model cutting utility is presented. This utility lets you specify which model Packages (and elements within them) should be hidden. Once specified, the non-hidden/public version of the model will be created by cutting/deleting the hidden parts. As a result, the stripped model with only visible model elements is stored in a dedicated branch, which is coupled with the main project branch. You can reuse projects with only visible elements according to your needs.

Image Removed

Dialog for selecting packages to hide.

Whenever you need to use a stripped model in other projects, the dedicated branch is suggested by default so that you can select your project to reuse. Also, there is no need to worry about making changes to the main project. Every change affecting the visible (or stripped) project part is synced with a project stored in the dedicated branch. You can do this manually or automatically after committing the changes of the main project to the server. Learn more how to hide packages >>

Disconnected team collaboration

Disconnected teamwork collaboration is dedicated for multiple contractors without the ability to work on the same Teamwork Cloud installation to contribute to projects. This feature allows you to export a server project as a local one, modify it, and import back while updating the server project. This means you can simply save your project locally as a .mdzip file and send this file to another contractor for modification. After the file is sent back, you have the ability to update the same server project from the local project. This life cycle may continue between any amount of contractors. This feature works even when multiple contractors work with separate Teamwork Cloud installations, as well as with Teamwork Server or local installations.

Cloning projects

Now you can clone your latest server project version as a separate project. You can use the project being cloned as a "template" to create a new project or use it as an independent base for new development. IDs of a cloned project and elements are reset automatically. Project permissions are reset as well; the project is available only for a user who has cloned the project. All references to used projects (if there are any) are maintained.

Image Removed

Other enhancements and changes

In the current release, the collaboration working environment has been significantly improved. These include:

• Adding a comment for the package when exporting it to a new server project.
• Displaying a progress bar with data about project changes while retrieving the content of element history. You may stop the collection process if you need to.
• Viewing changes in the model in a particular scope at the element level in the package, as well as in a classifier element in a composed element such as a Block or Requirement.

• Forward compatibility between service packs is provided as of the current version. For example, if you create or update a project with the tool version 19.0 SP2, the project will open in edit mode rather than read-only when it is opened in version 19.0 SP1 (except for the SP2-implemented functionality).
• As of 19.0 version, the Document Modeling Plugin is excluded from Cameo Systems Modeler product. If you want this plugin to assist for modeling the document structure, you can download free the Document Modeling Plugin and install it.
