Support for chrono classes in RTServices library

In the C++11 standard the chrono library has been addes for date/time support. Make it possible to call RTServices functions directly with std::chrono classes (in addition to RTTimeSpec)In particular: make it possible to call informIn witha std::c...

Support for oneOf in Swagger definitions

We need support for oneOf construct in Swagger definitions. (This is similar to the XSD choice construct.) This should allow us to annotate the model for oneOf during modeling and Swagger transformation should appropriately generate oneOf in the y...

Save As Image File... PDF support dropped

Prior versions of RSA supported the PDF output format when invoking File->Save As Image File... from a right mouse click within a diagram. This output format has been discontinued. We'd like it back!

RSARTE: Drawing arrows should not be annoying

Used V10 2016.35See attached video where I want to draw a transition from the border to a entry point.First of all the startingpoint of the transition move to somewhere in the middle.If the starting point is moved up, the entry point moves as well...

Let Help - Search find documentation available on DeveloperWorks

Most of the documentation of RSARTE is nowadays found on the DeveloperWorks wiki. So it would be nice to extend Help - Search with a scope for searching this wiki. It can work similar to how Eclipse.org can be chosen as a scope when searching for ...

Use state machine hierarchy in compare/merge view for RSA-RTE

Change proposal: Use the state machine hierarchy, i.e. composite states, as grouping option in the compare/merge view in RSA-RTE. The changes of different state levels within the same state machine are currently mixed up in the compare dialog. The...

Have output from xcompare 'Save list of changes' available through command line.

While testing the 'compare' feature of cmcmdline.jar, we have seen 2 issues.* Output is very minimalistic (only a count)* compare needs ancestor (xcompare does not) It would be great if we could just provide -left and -right and get output like: x...

RSARTE: Make it possible to set the default line style

When drawing state diagrams, I prefer lines having a rectilinear line style, the default is oblique however. This can be changed by right-click->Format->Line style but there is no way to set this as being the default. Make it possible to set...

RSA-RTE: Modeling associations: Multiplicity of composite association returns pointer by default

Model an association in the form of a pointer in a class diagram. Since this is a pointer, it makes sense to set the default value to 0. When modeling a "Composition Association" in a class diagram, the multiplicity of the target defaults to "0..1...

RSA-RTE/Modeling associations: Default value cannot be set from properties view

Model an association in the form of a pointer in a class diagram. Since this is a pointer, it makes sense to set the default value to 0. Setting the default value cannot be done from the properties view of the association. It can only be done from...
