Magic Draw / Cameo Bugs

Use this thread to compile Magic Draw / Cameo bugs, along with system/version information, work arounds, and fixes.

1. Character Spacing on Comments/Notes when Zoom is not at 100% is off. (Windows 7, Cameo Systems Modeler, SP1)

2. Comment Anchors to Frames pass through the comment obscuring visibility. (Windows 7, Cameo Systems Modeler, SP1)

3. Ctrl/Shift consistency between selecting Elements in diagram and containment tree. (Windows 7, Cameo Systems Modeler, SP1)

If anyone has encountered the same bugs, please list the number and your version/configuration.

I intend to contact No Magic at some point in the future.

I'm using the installed version from a couple months back. None of the packages.

Rhett,

For number 6, I think I found a work around that I can show you at some point based on something David showed me. It works most of the time, and it's actually a pretty quick thing.

I also wanted to add a suggested upgrade I would like to see if No Magic can make. Specifically, I would like them to upgrade their UPDM plugin to allow the creation of SysML elements in UPDM packages, and UPDM elements in SysML packages. It would save us mouse clicks. But this would be a nice-to-have, not a true bug in this case. I would welcome thoughts from others in this case. Considering we have a work-around, maybe I'm just asking for a gold-plated solution.

One of the most annoys me with CSM 18.5 SP2 is how stereotypes are not completely implemented according to UML specification as a disjoint/orthogonal extension mechanism. Specifically, SysML and UPDM profiles have MD Customizations where the SysML and/or UPDM elements are targets of Customization Elements that have the Hide Metatype attribute set to True.

docs.nomagic.com/.../Hide Metatype

This creates some real problems when using UPDM according to it's standard or when mixing custom profiles with built in profiles.

For example, Activities, Interactions and State Machines are all UML metaclasses that are specializations of UML::Class. Thus it should be perfectly allowable to apply the Block stereotype to them. However, this is not the case in CSM. UPDM::Capability has the same issue. In fact I think using UPDM::Capability to extend a UML::Behavior instance is probably better than using it to extend a UML::Class instance.. but not possible thanks to the fact that Hide Metatype for a UPDM::Capability is set to True in the MD Customization.
