|
Editor operations |
| Use smart actions to quickly create elements by dragging and dropping them within target diagrams or model elements |
| Use smart interactions to default create the best suited kind of element within a target |
| Use the name completion mechanism for model element referencing |
| Use the drag and drop mechanism for namespace changes, element referencing (ie typing) |

|
Model and diagram search engine |
| Use quick find in browser |
| Search for regular expressions |
|
Modeling facilities |
| Use project templates |
| Use smart instance creation, by dragging a classifier into an instance context (such as in internal structure or a collaboration, or an interaction/sequence diagram) |
| Create custom setters and getters for class attributes and association ends |
| Generate overridden/realized operations |
| Drag a class from browser to sequence diagram to create a lifeline |
| Select operation for message in sequence/communication diagram |
|
Model decomposition, multi-project cooperation support |
| Use native model import/export feature |
| Use "model components" to deliver parts of projects to other projects |
| Manage "model components" for importer projects: read-only components, GVC/CMS ignored by the importer project, dependency/versioning compatibility management between model components |
|
GUI |
| Perspectives - the GUI adapts itself to the selected modules (for example, becomes Java specific, C++ specific, analysis specific, ...) |
| RCP ergonomy - Eclipse-like, with dockable windows, ... |
| Use project creation wizards (configuration help, predefined project configurations) |
| Use quick property tab enabling fast editing of selected elements |
|
Layout |
| Align and center symbols |
| Use the automated diagram layout feature |

| Choose between two line drawing options (orthogonal and free) |
|
Java 6.0 support |
| Check errors in the model against Java language rules using the model syntax checker |
| Generate ANT application production |
| Generate model-driven Java code |
| Choose between two code generation strategies (model-driven and roundtrip) |
| Preserve all comments and method implementations during roundtrip engineering |
| Reverse engineer Java source code |
| Use JavadocTM tags during both the reverse engineering and code generation phases |
| During reverse engineering, collect Javadoc comments in code and store them as documentation of the model element |
| Add JavadocTM properties, such as @param and @author, when generating code |
| Customize file header text (for example, company copyright information) |
| Automatically generate "import" sentences (optional) |
