V2.1

You can now seamlessly design while switching between state machine diagrams and state transition tables. Please refer to this page for detailed usage of state machine diagram and state transition table.

New function

Added a state transition table that works in conjunction with the state machine diagram.

Supports state transition table

Added state transition table view on state machine diagrams . The state machine diagram and state transition table can be edited by switching views. Charts and tables update in real time.

Intuitive and speedy operability

You can easily add states and triggers from the state transition table toolbar and menu. In addition to directly editing the text of triggers and status cells, you can also intuitively edit them in a variety of ways, such as selecting from a list and copying and pasting.

Design without omissions

You can set Ignore or NotHappen as a trigger for the state, so you can check that the design is complete.

Highlighting and filtering

You can highlight cells with transitions and hiding transitions without triggers.

Export to Excel

The state transition table can be exported to Excel for secondary use.

Restrictions when migrating from V2.0

Overview

Restrictions for migrating from V2.0 to V2.1 are as follows.

No.	Restrictions	Description
1	The UML/SysML profile package [UML/SysML] has never been deleted (*1)(*2)	If you have made the changes on the left, data migration cannot be started.
2	The package name of the UML/SysML profile must not be changed from UMLSysML (*3)	If you have made the changes on the left, data migration cannot be started.
3	The UML/SysML profile package [UML/SysML] must be placed directly under the root package (*2)	If it is not placed directly under the root package, data migration cannot be started.
4	Do not delete the classes and fields in the state machine diagram (*1)	If you make the changes on the left, the migration will succeed, but the new features of V2.1 may not work.
5	Do not add fields with specific names to specific classes in the state machine diagram	If you make the changes on the left, the migration will succeed, but the new features of V2.1 may not work .
6	Do not add a class with a specific name to a specific package in the state machine diagram	If you make the changes on the left, the migration will succeed, but the new features of V2.1 may not work .
7	You have not added a specific tagged value to the class field of the state machine diagram	If you make the changes on the left, the value of the tagged value will be overwritten with True.
8	A view definition whose name is StateTransitionTable or whose display name is State Transition Table has not been added to the state machine diagram class	If you make the changes on the left, a view definition with the same name is added. and it becomes difficult to distinguish between them.

(*1): Even if a deleted package class field is re-added with the same name or attribute, it will be treated as another package class field. Therefore, if you delete it even once, it will not work properly.
(*2): UML/SysML profile package [UML/SysML] is the display name in V2.0. In V1.1, the package [modeling] is the equivalent package.
(*3): The UML/SysML profile package name [UMLSysML] is the name in V2.0. In V1.1, set it to [Modeling].
