RSA-RTE: Enable Promote/Demote to superclass for structure diagram elements

In Rose-RT elements from the structure diagrams could be promoted to a superclass (ports, capsule parts etc.). This functionality is not present in RSA-RTE. It was deprecated because it was too buggy.

RSA-RTE: Focus on Code View Automatically when selecting an element

When selecting an element in the Project Explorer or Properties view it would be nice if the "Code View" view has an option to be selected/highlighted automatically by the toolset if it has something to show. Currently you have to manually select ...

RSA-RTE: Diagram editing Reuse Editor also when entering state via double click

The preference 'UML Development - Real Time - Diagrams - 'Reuse editor when performing Go Inside/Outside' should also be used when entering a substate via double click, because this is the most common method engineers use to enter a substate.

RSA-RTE: sub-state symbol: only show #-# when there are local modifications relative to any inherited state.

When creating a nested state machine in an inherited state, the state symbol changes from O-O to #-# (the filled circles instead of the open ones). In RoseRT this means that the nested state contains modifications relative to the inherited state. ...

Suppression flag for "Ignoring template parameters" warnings

Add a suppression flag for "Ignoring template parameters for this ___" where the field is an enum, typedef, etc. Unless the entire c++ spec for templates is implemented, do not try and process everything, and in the event template parameters are i...

Need all link types available from RDM to be visible back CLM tools

RDM 403 allows traceability to the CLM tools (RRC, RTC, RQM). Some of the link types can be made from RDM to the CLM tools, but that same link does not appear in the targeted tool. Example: Creating a design in RSA / RDM allows a user to link ("Sa...

RDM: ability to move artifact between folders

If designs are created in the wrong folder, they cannot be moved to the correct folder in RDM.There is no workaround for this.The user is required to preplan every design that goes into the system,or rely on bookmarking and querying designs in one...

Enforce time threshold on editor services

The code editor seems to offer some background services (highlighting, indexing, code lookup, mouseover code, etc.) In realistically sized workspace, this can slow development. Selecting text in an editor window results in the mouse icon changing ...

Export / Import bookmarks feature

It would be nice to have a bookmark import/export feature for those who use bookmarks extensively.

Codegeneration: Generate a forward declaration for a shared aggregation (in stead of inclusion)

- In Rose-RT a shared aggregation would generate a forward declaration: You don't have to know the contents, only the name of the class. In CP2 an inclusion is generated instead: D_FooBar.h: #include . That can lead to dependency creep.
