Addition of a Decision point that has multiple inputs and outputs

In Rational Rose we have models that use a decision point as a combination of a decision node and merge node. We converted our old models over and would like to keep this functionality, whether or not it strictly adheres to the UML 2.1 spec. Right...

RSM/RSA should not take a license as soon as Eclipse starts

Skatteverket suggests that the RSA tool extends with two new features/functions to meet our needs. 1- We suggest adding an on/off button where the user can decide when he/she needs to use the modelling tool (i.e. requesting a licence from the serv...

Ability to use path map variable or classpath of the project with the Java visualization.

UML models (*.emx-files) and class diagrams (*.dnx-files) should be independent from the project in which they were created.Using Path map variable or the classpath of the current project to resolve Java types could help to achieve this.

WADL generation in RSA REST modeling

RSA 8.5 supports modelling RESTful Services. A BIRT report can be created to generate documentation of the REST services in HTML, PDF, Doc and PPT formats. It would be great if RSA/BIRT could also support WADL generation from the designed model fi...

RSA 8.5 x64, unable to word wrap notes in rich text mode

Please add the ability to word wrap text inside of a rich text field on a note within uml models. The word wrap functionality should work the same way as when a note is resized without the rich text feature enabled.

Cannot reconnect communication paths on deployment diagrams

RSA should allow users to reconnect communication paths from one node to another on a deployment diagram. Currently, the "Reconnect not supported" message appears if you try to do this, RSA does not support the re-orientation of communication path...

RSA 8.04 - Use Case Format / Fill / Custom color broken

In RSA 8.04, in a use case diagram, we are able to change colors of the use case 'bubble'. However, none of the custom colors work. Please enhance the product to allow the additional colors to be displayed. This is necessary for very large diagram...

It should be possible to save entered text in the Documentation field in Properties view without having to change focus

It should be possible to save entered text in the Documentation field in Properties view without having to change view focus. The RSA model won't get "dirty" until you switch from the Documentation field to a different field or view.
